hi ree1, welcome.
most of the times the empty square brackets are placed in the page by "banner blaster" when the banner contains the attribute alt="" with no alternative text.
this happens when the author use some html editor without clean the code manually.
to solve the problem, download my tweaked version of "banner blaster" that you can find in the dowload section of this forum. then, open your default.cfg file with a text editor (like notepad) and replace your default filter with mine.
<edit>: if you like any replacement at all, open your default.cfg file and remove the replacement line from banner blaster.
that's all,
altosax.
