Many of you will probably know of this, but if you don't or havn't done it yet, do it now!
http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~atman/spam/adblock.shtml
Do what it says untill the end of that long list of ad servers. And then add these ones:
127.0.0.1 download.abetterinternet.com
127.0.0.1 dst.trafficsyndicate.com
127.0.0.1 view.atdmt.com
127.0.0.1 adfarm.mediaplex.com
127.0.0.1 xlime.offeroptimizer.com
127.0.0.1 xadso.offeroptimizer.com
127.0.0.1 cdn2.adsdk.com
And many places you go on the internet, you will not see ads.
127.0.0.1 is simply referring to your computer (redirects you to your own computer) So if you are hosting a website, in some ad spaces you will see your site.
To add your own, type 127.0.0.1 then 7 spaces, then the ad server.]
Popups just become less annoying and flashing banners won't make you blind 
Also be sure to read the section: "Enhanced Privacy"
I have used the Hosts file for a long time, but never saw such a complete list.

XP users; follow the Windows NT instructions about where to find the HOSTS file.
|
Click start > Run
Type
%windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Then select the program to view it in... i.e notepad or another text editor from the list.

Yeah I did this before, only thing was something added google to it, I took me around a week to figure out why my computer was the only one on the network which couldn't access google.
I does come in handy though if you get a good selection of sites. May want to add lop.com to it too as that thing is like a virus once it is installed.
