Ads no longer visible in my IE browser

Hoping it's just me.

Hi all. I added Adsense to most of my pages 3 days ago, and everything was fine. Then yesterday I noticed all advertising had vanished when viewing my site through Internet Explorer. Everything still looks fine in Netscape and Opera, the two other browsers I checked.

I'm assuming it must be something that's going on with my computer, or my browser, and everyone else can still see the ads in IE. I haven't reconfigured IE at all since I added Adsense. I tried resetting all the defaults in the browser anyway, but it didn't help. Any ideas?

One more thing I was wondering about. I have an original fairy artwork site, and the advertising on all of my pages seems appropriate to this theme--except for my links page, which has ads for things like music downloads and spyware removal. Any suggestions on how I can get more on-topic ads to appear on that page?

Many thanks.

Clear your IE cache.. For some strange reason IE gets corrupted at times and you'll not see ads anywhere until you clear the cache..

If that doesn't work try checking your hosts file. A nasty little spyware program modified mine for me one time and made it impossible to see google ads. I knew others were seeing them because I was still getting clicks but I wasn't seeing them at all. Took 2 days to track that little booger down...

Clearing the cache worked! Thanks very much.

I'm not sure what the hosts file is, so I'm VERY glad it wasn't that. Sounds like a big pain. I HAVE had to deal with spyware infestation in the past--what a nightmare. Thanks for your feedback.
