ad block not working for me (tried everything I can think of

Post by Dodge5561 »

I have been tried to get my adblock working for the last two days now. I have read a bunch of forums on here and tried the tips and tricks that others have used to get theirs working, but nothing. I have updated my patterns (deleting both patterns and backup files) and I get message about adblock now blocking annoying ads, but they are still there annoying me. I have no other add-ons running in my browser, adblock is enabled and I see it in the bottom right hand corner colored and everything. Tried to uninstall and reinstall adblock several times. Reinstalled internet explorer and install and new fresh version of adblock. I tried to copy and paste the easylist manually to the pattern files (have to try everything once) but that did nothing. I have installed it on google chrome and had a bit of a hic up with the update failing to download the list, which was easy to fix. But I like internet explorer better and was hoping to get it running on it here soon.
My system is Windows 7 64 bit and running explorer 11 (just upadate 12/14/15 for Microsoft website). Any help appreciated!

Did you read the sticky topics ?

For example, if you go to this page
http://simple-adblock.com/faq/testing-your-adblocker/

what's the result ?
