If you hear yourselves swearing at those darn pop-up ads that always cover the part of the browser that you want to read, swear no more. The good news is that you can get rid of that ad once and for all. First, you need to be using Firefox (or Mozilla) as your browser.
Next, download this Firefox extension: AdBlock. It is a criticial part of my arsenal to fight the evil pop-up ads.
In a nutshell, AdBlock lets me specify what ads to filter out in a web page. 
When you see an ad on a web page (or Flash plugin, say) that you don't want to ever see again, click the AdBlock tab along the top (or sometimes bottom) of the ad.
The URL for that offensive ad appears in the ensuing dialog box. You can use that as the filter, or replace it with a more general regular expression, e.g., "http://ad.ca.doubleclick.net/*".
Rest assured that Adblock is on your side in the war against unwanted ads !!
