I want to disable automated adds on my search browsers, but need help doing so?
When I say automated adds, I mean advertisements that pop up instead of link when you click it in a search. I am running on Internet Exporer 9 (That might be the problem right there lol) and use the Yahoo, Google, and Bing search engines, which each have the issue at question. I have clicked on "about our ads" link on all of these sites and opted out of the personalized ad service,c though, obviously, this does not stop the ads themselves. I would be gracious towards any helpful information should anyone provide it.

Yes, problem A is IE. Get Firefox (because it is well established, well supported by the community and many add-ons to handle these needs for you).
Too, you can update your hosts. file and set all ad domains to 127.0.0.1
To block being tracked and to reduce being affiliated with even more ads or even spam then use Ghostery (works best with Firefox), update it often and put a checkmark to block all 3pes and Cookies in the Options after ea update ;)

If you download Google Chrome and use that, you can choose AdBlock as an add on option. It will remove ads that you don't want.
