June 15th, 2005, 5:26 am

Hello all,
I have noticed a strange problem that I cannot see google adsense at any web site. I follow the instruction by:
temporarily uninstal norton
disable firewall
unistall addaware
also enable scripting of java aplet on IE6

but still cannot see google adsense. Is someone has the same problem?
any comments and suggesion will be appreciated.
thanks in advance

I have added a adsense ad on one of my web pages and it is also not showing up. Seems like the Adsense network is currently down.

Hi UBK,

Is your javascript working fine, also which browser you are using?

Mainly Firefox. Not showing in IE neither.

I tried different ads on different pages where Ads (less than 3) are already coexisting. It did generate space for the size of the banner however it is showing null.

Have you checked javascript option in Mozilla

You can go there from:

Thank you all who reply to my post.
But it was realy a very strange problem and I figure it out.
actualy theire was no problem with browser and so on.
the only problem is some how the HOST file was currupted by some trojan or spyware(who knows)
the file exist
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
I back up the file and its show now everything fine.
thanks once again for the replies.

HOST file can actually be useful to block advertising URL's for faster browsing

Some anti-spyware applications modify your hosts file to block advertisements, pagead2.googlesyndication.com just so happens to be on some of their lists.

You may have been better off removing lines containing Google URLs that reverting to a backup file.
