Add-On failed to run

What add-ons are on the site ? I use Win7 and IE newest. Is there a setting I should be using to authorize any add-on the site wants to run or is it a advertisement?

Oooooohhhh
http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js

This is what generates the error message (look at the page source)

go to your host file
c:\windows\sytem32\drivers\etc\host
right click on the file
click property
click security tab
click edit
click Users (computer name)
check full control
click apply
click ok
close everything
Now right click on host
select open
select program
use notepad (that thing may bot work well as MS hates ii when you mess with the functioning of windows) if so DL any notepad freeware replacement and insert the following line:

127.0.0.1 googlessyndication.com
or
1.1.1.1 googlessyndication.com

You need one or the other. The standard is 127.0.0.1.
Either line will kill googlesyndication.com for ever.
Explanation: both numbers are IP numbers that represent your own computer (loopback).
Another method is to forbid access to googlessyndication.com inside your firewall. (I never use a firewall for this type on interdiction- but that is just me). I regularly update all my PCs with a master HOST file so regardless of firewall I kill the access w/o bothering with them... (I even do that on client's computers)
