Ah, I am using IE7 with XP pro, that's probably why its different. I prefer it this way anyway, as it plays a sound every time a site is blocked, so as soon as i here that noise, i can simply hit escape and i don't even have to deal with the dialog. It really is great though, I mean it even gets rid of google adds, now who wouldn't want that?
