Adblock plus question

When ever I click on the Publishers Clearing House emails I notice they are able to disable Adblock plus on my computer. How can they do that? It infuriates me that they can do it . Way back when when I would start to do the number pics at PCH every now and then I would get a warning from PCH that for the page to run proper I had to disable my ad block program but I ignore it, so they started disabling it themselves and I don't like it. I have windows 7, run adwcleaner, mal ware bytes, jrt, and tfc regularly. Firewall on and run microsoft security essentials.

I haven't seen that happen yet. Is adblock actually totally disabled or is it just that ads are getting through? Can you provide a link to a page that does that?

And just to be clear are you saying that when you click on a link in an email to open a page in a website, when that page opens adblock does not work?

I haven't see that either. Are you sure you didn't disable ABP for that domain?

ABP changes from red to black when she does what she posted.

I open the email from PCH and the ABP symbol in my tray is red. Then when I click a link in the email the ADP icon turns grey saying it is disabled. It did it with win loot until I unchecked the allow some non-intrusive ads in the filter preferences but for some reason it didn't work with Publishers Clearing House.. No I haven't disabled it for this domain or any other.

Can you provide a specific url like fink mentioned?

Which browser are you running? ABP is available on multiple browsers.

http://games.pch.com/daily-instant-w...=&ci=Davenport Version 35.o Firefox.

http://lotto.pch.com/

It's fine on FF35 and FF31.4 ESR for me. I'm running ABP 2.6.7.

I just clicked http://lotto.pch.com/ and the red ABP icon immediately changed to grey. I just re d/l ABP because it had completely vanished so I assume it is the latest version. Yep it says 2.6.7. I guess I should not go to publishers anymore. Not gonna win it anyway.

Is it possible you've inadvertently clicked disable on that site yourself? What happens if you click to enable it, close the browser and then go back?

It will not turn back on until I close pch.com

Do you have the adwarning pass through list? I uninstalled it.
The clear out the cookies for that pch.com

What is the adwarning pass through list? I don't think I have it.

Open preference, or look at the picture in you email to see what I am talking about, and if you have it uninstall it.

I don't have it but PCH can still turn abp off.

Me, I would stay away from there.

Maybe they're running some sort of script to do that. It's not something I've heard of but like Train suggests I'd probably stay away too. If, and I am saying if, they're running a script to disable ABP then it's not a huge leap to wonder what else they might be doing.

You could try temp disabling scripting to see if that does anything. You will need to do it manually in about:config..

The link is for FF29 but the procedure is the same for newest versions too. You can turn it back on by changing the toggle back to "true" by double clicking the entry.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb...f-java-applets. My menu takes me to this link to disable java script but when I go to add-ons as it says, I don't even have java platform on it. So I am really confused now.

That's Java. I'm talking about Javascript which is a totally different thing. Check out the link I made above to disable it.

The only thing on the options page is block pup up, font,colors, default font, and languages. I can't find Javascrip in any of the firefox menu items.

Look in extensions, if there you can disable it.

Only thing in extensions is ADP

Type about:config in the address bar and when the config page appears type javascript.enabled in the search window. Double click that to change the value to "false" to disable scripting.

Double click it again when you want to re-enable it (to "true")

http://www.ghacks.net/2013/07/30/how...pt-in-firefox/ The shown picture of ff22 and ff23 mine lookes like ff23 and no way to disable javascript.

think I will just not enter PCH any longer. Chances of winning are zero to none anyway. If they can turn it off who else can?

You can also use the addon "noscript" to disable it on that page or globally..

so I have to add a 15.00 program to block javascript?

It's free. the 15 dollars is a suggested donation.
