Google AdWords with no titles

Cannot click to view advert...

If in the UK, search for <snip, keyword> - top three results do not have a title. Hovering the advert changes the status bar via JavaScript, but clicking does not take you to the site!

Anyone else experiencing the problem?

Thanks for the quick reply. Decided to see what was wrong with my machine.

OK - found the problem. The link is being removed by Norton Firewall (Advert blocking). But it does not remove ALL links in AdWords, but just selected adverts.

Surely Norton Firewall would not block AdWords, would it? Obviously it does even thought they are unintrusive, relevant and useful adverts.

At least I know why now!

P.S. Firewall 2004 installed.

You might want to ask this in the browser forum, to get some good responses, but I have some browsers that check any page inclusions (images, frames, etc) against a list of sites, and if those sites are considered ad sites, they autoblock the frame to conserve bandwidth and page load time. I'm sure that the include frame for AdWords is different from G search results, and could have easily been added to that list.

eWhisper - you had me thinking that Norton may have a list as well. So I wondered if users could edit it - and I found it. There are hundreds of things it blocks - including any image/page with 'banner' in the URL, for example. I haven't worked out how it blocks Googles yet, but I can go from here.

Thanks for all your help. I may post a solution if I find the reason why this is happening.
