Try a VPN like Hide My Ass.

That'll stop it. It's also useful when abroad because you can chose a UK server and still watch BBC iPlayer, SkyGo etc.

in private was designed for "men to be able to buy presents for their wives" which I believe is code for Private OservationalResearch Network.

ive found setting IE to delete cookies/temp etc when you close down stops ads but has the disadvantage of making you log in every time you access the forum instead of remembering you.
