Thanks to providing that "links to here" I was easily able to find and deactivate them! Luckily there were only about 100 shown. It will take 1 hour for them to be off the network, if you see them still tomorrow let me know.
Mike.

Heres one that doesn't bother me too much, but would to other people (I just turn my sound off on the keyboard). It features the sound of a mosquito permanently on, and looped.
***Edit - oh drat, I've gone and lost the screen shot***
Its for
http://www.consumersavingcentre.co.uk/
The Tag line is "Zap the mosquito and win a free laptop"
Its a dark blue background, interactive flash thing-a-me-jig, with a mosquito flying around, and the word zap is in large yellow letters at the left hand side

Got it, luckily only 65 of those have been shown (it was a new ad).
That was a challenge to find as the ad wasn't called what it redirected the visitor to.
I also found 2 "chicken crossing the street" ones that clucked, clucked all the time.. argh! LOL...
Glad to make visiting the site that much less annoying for our vistiors.
Mike.

You'd think eventually these advertisers would wise up and spend some time and thought into their ads. I don't mind ads altogether, but most of the net ads are just plain lazy junk.

It's strange like that since they are spending money to get their ads out there. I think what is happening is people are de-sensitized to internet ads.
While I can't removed all the ads I do try my best to get rid of the most annoying ads to TMW visitors.
It's something I'll do and take a revenue cut to keep visitors happy that other sites definately won't do.
