whenever i visit a web site there are loads of blank red squares on the
page instead of thumbnails or pictures.
is this normal or is there a reason for it ?
i have microsoft xp. and my i.s.o is virgin media.
i have noticed that i have 2 firewalls i.e windows and the virgin firewall
that comes with virgin p.c guard.
is this the cause ? should i turn one off ?

Are you using IE7 or Firefox? If the former, look in Internet Options.

Some software is blocking images. I don't think the browser is doing
it, and the Windows firewall doesn't have such a feature. Look through
the Virgin P.C. Guard settings for such a feature.
 
thanks jo. i have discovered that my virgin p.c guard has a thing called "ad
blocker" which was switched on.
thanks for your help.
