HI,

You need to uninstall then reinstall.

How do I uninstall Safari AdBlock?

There is an "uninstall" button in the preferences. Alternatively, you can delete the /Library/InputManagers/Safari AdBlock folder.

Information here. http://burgersoftware.com/en/safariadblock

When you are finished reinstalling then relaunch Safari.

I'm sorry, but I don't know what's wrong with your adblock.
Have you looked into GlimmerBlocker?
I love it.
Does not interfere with anything.
(By the way, this is the only internet app I have chosen to install on my Mac . . .
It's that good.)

When you say "not working" what do you mean exactly?
All ads are coming through? Or some ads? or what?

It's not working, I tried both methods and none of them work. I uninstalled the safari and reinstalled it and the Safari Adblock was gone. Until today, it showed up on preference panel and I still could not get rid of it nor find anything in the library. What is occuring on? How do I remove it permanently?
