Opera Troubles!

[wigseryc]

So for a while now, i've been getting these two problems in Opera:

(excuse the shifty 'chopping)



Now as you can see, on the left side i have highlighted all the little [AD] ... things. I'm not sure what they are or what's causing them but they're damned annoying, and i even get them in IE.

I'd like them gone. Anybody know how to do this?

(These are just a few example of sites i visit often.)

...

The second problem is on the right. A grab from another forum i frequent (had to zoom out in Opera to get a good showing). You can see that 3 out of 4 avatars aren't showing. This happens on other forums, and again, i don't know why. I've tried refreshing, but nothing.

I would like them back - Anybody know what's going on? Some avatars show, others don't. Very confusing.

So yeah, anybody know any solutions to these troubles?

I'm running 9.27 which is, the latest version. Updated yesterday.

I've performed a Spyware scan with Spybot S&D, AV'd with AVG and also AdAware'd...

HELP!!

(Oh and please no "Get Firefox lol").

The avatar thing might be that the forum only displays a persons avatar on their first response on each page.

Get firefox cough cough

are you using some kind of blocking?

Oh yeah? I'm assuming you mean OCN...?

@ Buff - No blocking or anything.

My only idea is some spyware somewhere, as the same thing happened after a reinstall of Windows, but when i run a scan, nothing comes of it..

I can't remember if it was AVG or another AV proggie, but they recently introduced Ad blocking into their latest engine update and enabled it by default

The reason for the avatar blocking could be that the avatars are the same size as a standard banner type.
