    My problem is identical to the OP of this thread.

    Ever since I have ran Spyware Blaster ads in the Xfire client are no longer visible after reloading the application. I have been having this issue for years with your product but I think it is now that I find out a solution rather than choosing one application over another.

    As you can see Xfire should have a banner ad on the top of the application. This ad service is either used internally for xfire promotional purposes or as a marketing tool to advertise products. At times the promotional contests displayed in the ads interest me and I would like to have them back if that is possible.

    Additionally, is there a way to disable ad blocking with spyware blaster altogether? I already have adblock plus installed in firefox, so having two adblockers is a little redundant. Especially when adblock plus does specifically what I need it to do, blocking website ads. Spyware Blaster blocks any ads that have internet explorer embed into the application for banner ad distribution.

    Thanks for being on top of things guys! :thumbd:

    After some searching it turns out that Xfire uses doubleclick.com and doubleclick.net for their ad services. Simple uncheck these two from the list, add them to the ignore list and you are all ready to go after you restart xfire.

    I hope this helps someone else.
