One possibility is that you are redirecting these to 127.0.0.1, either
through a hosts file or some issue with name resolution or proxy in
your browser. The add redirects to your own IIS, which doesn't see
you as allowed to access that content, so it asks for authentication.
When you authenticate, the content still doesn't exist so you still
don't see the ad.

Using a custom hosts file to block popups and advertising is a common
trick, if you do this, this is the result you may see.
