Hubby suggested Spambot & AdAware... if you've already tried these
specific programs, you may be running into IntelliTXT. Since it runs on
the website, rather than your computer (as spyware like Top Text does),
there's nothing you can uninstall - the only way to not see the ads is
to not visit the sites that use it. (Technically, I suppose, the way to
not see the ads is to not hover the double-underlined areas, but
anyway.)
