Help me block "unfilterable" ad

Google can't figure it out, maybe you can

Moderators: Google suggested I post this question here.

I've asked the Google support team several times to help me filter the following ad:

<snip>

Each time, Google assures me that it is being filtered properly, but it continues to be displayed. This ad is worse than a virus. I can't get rid of it.

The ads appears to be from <snip> however blocking that domain doesn't work. We've been trying this for weeks.

The interesting thing is that the Preview tool NEVER lists this ad. I really suspect that this advertising has figured out some way to circumvent the filtering system.

Also, it's a Flash ad so there's no way to find the "real" URL if it's different. Clearly, blocking that domain doesn't block the ad.

Anyone have any suggestions?

They have an affiliates program. I think whoever is using the parent display url and a different aff url underneath. That is probably why you can't block them.

Try refreshing the page several times and using the filter each time. I have found when the ad doesn't appear on the page the filter is more likely to pick it up.
