Could be, I suppose. I have "Ad-Block" running and I use AVG for
anti-virus.

Once in a while a site with a video will detect that Ad-Block is enabled
and running and will prevent the video from playing. If I really want
to see it I can do a one time "allow" in the Ad-Block setting, put up
with the advertisement and then see the video. I think it would do the
same in Internet Explorer as well (if you are using Ad-Block).

It only happens once in a great while though. Most of the time I can
view any of the videos (minus the ads) with no problem.

Does Ad-Block prevent the ads that begin with many of the YouTube videos?
