Default Sponsored Ads don't "work"

I can't seem to make the sponsored ads work. My mouse does not find them as active links, though I seem to remember they did work in the past.
Is this a problem with my settings, or are the links no longer working?
Thanks for the feedback.

I can get the Fred Beans add to work, but all the other links further down don't work. Are they all working for you?

My firewall blocks the adware programs. I just do a search for new vendor and if I like, I add them to my favorites to see them later.

No stinking adware allowed on this PC. No exceptions!

Norton causes this problem a lot. They have an ad blocker built in to the system tools that takes away a lot of useful content on sites.

Needless to say they are not a popular company with legit sites like ours that are advertising supported.
