I know the windows programs I use filter ads, including flash ones. I
think the latest junkbuster does also. Both do it based on size of the
ad so if you get something that's a wacky size it will still get thru.
Then there's always the trick of adding ads.burstmedia.com or whaterver
the site is to your /etc/hosts file and set the ip to 127.0.0.1
