    Were you ever able to surf with you computer? Is this a new problem?

    Were things OK before the AOL update?

    Here are some threads to browse:

    Here is one post:

    The "Action Cancelled" message is usually generated when entries in the
    users HOSTS file are preventing access from one or more servers designated
    in the web page. In most cases this occurs from 3rd party ad servers such as
    "doubleclick", where the "Action Cancelled" message replaces an [example] ad
    banner in the viewing page.


    In other cases the message is displayed when a user clicks a link in a page
    that routes them thru a tracking service, or attempts to connect to a listed
    hijacker, parasite, etc. and this culprit is listed as an entry in the HOSTS
    file.


    The simplest method is to have the user rename the HOSTS file (to NOHOSTS)
    and try again. If renaming allows access, then the user needs to address the
    cause. Either an incorrect entry or there is a legitimate reason the HOSTS
    entry exists. (hijacker, trojan, dialer, etc.)


    To rename the HOSTS file, download: "RenHosts.bat"
