How do i prevent certain ads (not pop-ups) while using IE8?

Is there a way to prevent all ads on ie8?


I've tried using InPrivate Filtering but i can still see the ads.|||You can block 95% of ALL ads with MVPS Hosts file. Helps in the fight against virus and malware too. Does nopt matter what browser that you use.





"You can use a HOSTS file to block ads, banners, 3rd party Cookies, 3rd party page counters, web bugs, and even most hijackers. This is accomplished by blocking the connection(s) that supplies these little gems."

Free.





Once you have them blocked, you can make your blocked adverts look "purdy" with Homer (optional).





"Now that you're blocking ads and sites with your hosts file, Speed up your browsing experience by serving an image of your choice to fill in where those ads would have normally been."

Both are free.
