Vista Issue with website

[sharkyboy]

Hi,

I am slightly confused. On our website www.the-ark.net there is a an advert strip down the right hand side. When viewed with IE or FF with windows XP the ad strip is visible. However the ad strip is invisible when viewed inn IE/FF with some Vista machines. This has been noticed on three seperate computers.

Has anyone else come across this phenomena?

I would be grateful for any wisdom.

The HTML can be taken from the site. The ad strip is in the div called headlines. Here is the css:

Well it depends on what antivirus you have. but i think most have an option in the settings on which websites to ignore and therefore not block.
