Depends on the browser your using, I use Firefox which has a useful feature called AdBlock, once installed advertisements simply don't load, have been using it for years without problem.

I would suggest in this day and age if your using a computer it would be in your own best interest to pick up a few basics, i.e. your operating system, the browser your using as well as an understanding of security regarding online activities and email usage.
Better safe than sorry.

My guess is that you have already let a trojan or 2 into your browser and they are giving you the ads...
Maybe you need to have someone a bit puter savvy look at your computer and get rid if the junk..
