This is not a question, just a fix
If you keep getting action cancelled in web pages where
you know the ad should come up.
Go to your C drive, go into the windows folder, then into
system 32, then choose the etc folder, and anything that
says host, delete it.
you will find that your ads, and other websites, like
pogo.com will come up.
This is from a former MSN tech.
Have a good one
 
Then no wonder he/she is a FORMER tech. This is a very valuable file and
while it won't harm your system to delete it, you can use it to DRAMATICALLY
reduce the number of pop up windows you receive when using Internet aware
applications.

By adding entries into that file that look similar to this:

127.0.0.1 ads.msn.com

your computer will never be able to contact the ad server. It will try to,
but it will be simply calling itself and get a "busy signal" of sorts. Your
computer will then give up calling the ad server and no ads will be loaded.
