After I installed Ad Annihilator, I see that on some web pages some pictures are disabled (X sign is shown instead of them). Besides, I see messages like "Rejected by *banner*" scattered throughout the pages. What happened to these web pages?

This is how Ad Annihilator banner blocker works! The pictures that are not shown (marked with red X sign) are suspected to be banners and hence blocked by Ad Annihilator. The messages like "Rejected by *banner*" can also be shown instead of blocked banners. They inform the user that the banner was blocked and which banner filter blocked it. If you do not want to see this message, do the following:

• Click Ad Annihilator Options button on Ad Annihilator toolbar. Ad Annihilator Options window is opened afterwards;

• Select Banner Stopper tab;

• Clear "Show disabling filter instead of banner" checkbox;

• Click OK button.

Note that you may clear this option only if you already registered your copy of Ad Annihilator.

If you believe that a single picture was blocked by Ad Annihilator in error, you may easily unblock it using the following simple technique:

• Right-click the place where the banner was with the mouse and select "Unblock this banner" from the context menu
  OR

• Point to the place where the banner was with the mouse and press Ctrl-Alt-U on the keyboard.
