If you hate those ads as much a I do just install Chrome and then do a search within Chrome for "Adblock Plus for Chrome". Install it and in no time you'll be enjoying mostly ad-free browsing, including those darned pre-run video ads.
Oh, it even takes care of ads on this site. But in deference to Jer's need to make a little ching on this site I'll use IE9 here.
