So I tried today to play the review for dark athena and instead of playing the entire video, I got a quick image which I saw, and then a black screen.

The play button has turned into a pause button and if I click on the black screen I can change this between play and pause.

None of the video is buffering however as the total play time for the video remains at 00.00

I'm running adblock plus which i have disabled on gamespot

I'm also running avira which whenever i goto gamespot warns me of a HTML/IFrame.adyh malware in the URL:

http://mads.gamespot.com/mac-ad?beacon=1&site=6&NCAT=&ptype=2001&pid=

If a deny this access gamespot goes to a blank white screen, if I ignore it gamespot loads but I still don't get any video streaming

Not sure if I have tried using any videos on gamespot since the newest version of avira came out.

Also the old viddeos e.g. max ppayne 1 review are also not working.

Any idea whats blocking the videos? They used to work.

Thanks
