Do I have to look at them?

I don't like watching squirming girls exploiting themselves. How do I get rid of these particular ads?

Update:

She/they are still showing up. My pop-ups have always been blocked. These are ads on Yahoo, not pop-ups.

Update 2:

Well, I tried to block the ad through Firefox, but that blocked me completely to Answers...so I'm on Internet Explorer until I can figure out what I did. Thanks for your help everyone.

Update 3:

I seem to have figured out how to get back on Firefox...now I'm waiting for the girls to show up again. This sounds really dumb, but I don't know how to vote. ;)

Update 4:

Okay, I wait four hours...geesh.

    The only thing I can suggest if they appear on Yahoo, go direct to them and see if they may be able to block your site from receiving these from their end.Advertising is their way of financing their site so it may not be that easy.

    I personally don't even notice them I go directly to what I look for and ignore all commercialism.Sorry that's all I can suggest.

    that has happened to me before until i searched on the internet for free trials for porn blocking from your own computer and after the trial went away i havent ran into anything.

    but if you really want to be protected you can buy pop up blockers over the internet or probly some electronics store.

    You need an mod for Firefox if you use it called "Remove It Permanently", once you use it, follow the steps, right click certain ads that you don't wish to see, and you won't see them ever again : ).

    Use your pop-up blocker (Yahoo on your desktop, click "Tools", "Pop-up blocker", "Turn on pop-up blocker".

    Remember some official sights require you deactivate the Pop-up blocker in order to access their info. If so, you can always temporarily allow the pop-up.
