Ads Won't Appear

[Brian]

When i visit sites that have ads, especially pogo.com,
the ads don't show up therefore none of the games work
for me, where ever the ads are supposed to be, it says
Action Canceled....etc.
I don't have a ad blocker

Brian,

It appears that you have the updated HOSTS file in the system. HOSTS file can be used to block ADs and URLs. Check if renaming HOSTS file solves the problem [for troubleshooting purpose only].

Pogo.com is an ad generated site that "requires" doubleclick and several
other tracking servers.
When doubleclick and the others are blocked you can not access the games on
that site.

So it's either don't go there or use the "toggle method" to access the
games? [ugh!]
Their "privacy policy" and Terms of Use" pages are downright scary!
