Is there any way we could have the URL, so we can block that one particular ad? I do not want to compromise the security for that one single ad. It's been quite a pain.

Sorry, no, ads are what keeps sites like this alive, helping everyone block them isn't in our best interest. It sounds like you have cranked your security up from the normal level, as flash ads load fine at the normal security level (medium).

Agreed MrBond, what ads :)

erikiksaz, like Zuni said, on my old rig, I set the security settings too high for "consumer use," and I tended to spend more time figuring out what to let pass my firewall and what not to, than surfing the sites I visit on a dialy basis.
