Google Adsense Making Text Disappear in Internet Explorer

    Ok guys.

    Hopefully this is the right forum to post into.

    I have recently discovered a problem with a few of my pages where I put the adsense block near the top.

    So here goes.

    I have probably 4-5 pages with this same problem and its only the ones where I have recently put an adsense block up top and its only in Internet Explorer (tested on IE7).

    For example.

    I have this site - OnlineScamsUncovered

    You can see .. I have a text of paragraph that starts out Hey YOU!

    Now, open the same link in IE .. you will see there is just a big white space there .. no scroll down to the bottom of the page .. and scroll right back up to the top .. and you will see the full paragraph and everything right there displaying just fine.

    Now, if you try to highlight that text, boom, goes away again????!!!!????

    I dont know what is going on or what I did to do this.

    But it is happening ONLY in IE and ONLY on the pages where I have installed the 336x280 adsense block?

    Can anyone please shed some light on this matter as to what is causing it or what to do to fix it??

    You can see it does the same thing on these pages as well.

    Page 1 - Page 2

    Thanks for any help or suggestions! Would love to get this fixed!!

    Also, when I had this website designed .. you will see in the source code that I have this text in the header, which is one the original designer did.

    <!--[if IE]>
    <style type="text/css" media="screen">
    #headerbar { left: 50%; margin-left: -460px }
    #sidebar{margin-right: 3px;}
    #headerbar .button{margin-left: 148px;}
    </style>
    <![endif]-->
    <!--[if lt IE 7]>
    <style type="text/css" media="screen">
    #sidebar{margin-left: 580px;}
    .narrowcolumn { padding-right: 43px;}
    #sidebarleft{margin-left:6px;}
    div#headerbar { width: 980px;}
    #header{background: none;}
    #headerbar .button{margin-left: 74px;}
    #headerbar li{padding-left: 25px;}
    #headerimg {
    height: 314px;
    width: 920px;
    position: absolute;
    z-index: -1;
    filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='http://www.onlinescamsuncovered.com/new/images/header.png';
    }
    p img { width: expression(this.width > 450 ? "100%" : true); }
    </style>
    <![endif]-->

    I dont know if that has anything to do with it or not?
