Error message on web pages visited with IE6 on WinXP Home: "Internet Explorer was unable to link to

[Michael]

Whenever I visit web pages, I see messages like the following in places
where ads are supposed to be. I have deactivated the ad blocking and pop ad
blocking from Norton Internet Security, but the same message appears. Has
somebody seen this before and do you know of a fix?

Thank you,
Michael

Why do I see the Action Cancelled message?

Thank you Henri! I think this is probably it. I'll allow some of the major
ad providers so that I avoid most of these annoying action cancelled
messages.
