Adblock plus blocking everything

guest · Post by **guest** » Fri Feb 16, 2007 3:26 am

Adblock plus has mysteriously started blocking many elements of web pages, i.e., not ads, all images, etc. How in the heck did this happen and how do I fix it or uninstall Adblock plus?

version 0.7.2.4

I'm not blocking images through Firefox options.

OK, now I understand why it was doing this. In the filter list there was a "." which means it literally did block everything, I think. (Text came through) When I was trying to delete this entry in the filter list, it got rid of the filter subscription entirely, and now there are no filters. What do I do now?

Here are some subscriptions:

And read this tip, so this problem does not happen next time.

ps: I have not seen a subscription that has just ".", it does not make any sense,
it must be some spelling error:)

@ guest:

Are you using CyberSitter or some other 'babysitting' software blocker?
