IMDB false positive

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Please give a precise description of the problem and steps to reproduce it.
Advert at the top of the page gets killed... but so does the search bar 
directly underneath.

At which URL is this problem observed?
http://www.imdb.com

Which versions of AdThwart, Chrome and Windows/MacOS/Linux?
Adthwart 1.0.16, Chrome 7.0.517.44, Windows XP Home with service pack 3.

Which filter lists are you subscribed to? Any custom filters?
Easylist by Ares2, Michael and Erunno; AdThwart Recommended Filters

In AdThwart Options, which "General" options are checked?
Show 'Block Element' right-click menu item
Disable inline text ads
Block ads inside YouTube videos (does not work with the FlashBlock extension)

Please provide any additional information below.
I had to whitelist IMDB to get around the problem, which of course means the 
advert now appears too.

Just looked now and I can't reproduce this problem. After clicking "Update now" 
in AdThwart Options, does this problem still occur?

• Added labels: Type-AdReport
• Removed labels: Type-Defect

The advert is advertising amazon.co.uk, so maybe that ad doesn't show if you're 
not in the UK. That would explain why you couldn't reproduce the problem. I 
just done what you said, no effect. It still takes out the black strap with the 
search bar on it, along with the Amazon ad above - of course, only the advert 
should be removed. Since Amazon owns IMDB, they may have deliberately coded it 
so that ad blockers cannot be used on that site. You'll need to find a 
workaround.

I can reproduce this as well with Chrome 9.0.587.0/AdThwart 1.0.17/Mac OS X. 
With just the Easylist by Ares2, Michael and Erunno filter enabled, the IMDB 
search box shows up ok. With the just the AdThwart Recommended Filters filter 
enabled, the search box is blocked, so it looks like the problem is the 
AdThwart Recommended Filters filter. In case it's helpful, I've attached a 
couple screenshots.

For your information, I could reproduce this issue using a proxy through US and 
did not work with a proxy through UK as suggested above.

I've updated the AdThwart recommended filters as per uarcangel's suggestion. 
Please click "Update now" in the AdThwart Options.
