The banner is the same as the one David R posted but without the 'Upgrade' button and instead of showing the text 'Your IP address xxxxxx is visible' it would show 'Your location xxxxx is visible'

The Upgrade button is there because I'm using avast free and avast would like me to upgrade ;)

I also find the situation describe peculiar and as Asyn pointed out, shouldn't happen with all privacy boxes "unchecked" (disabled ads)
Strange
