Default Disturbing Ads?

Okay, just last night I was nearly freaked out by this weird bobbly sound that kept coming from my computer.

I thought it was from my explorer window (i use firefox too) so I closed that. Then the sound continued. I had multiple tabs so I closed all of them. And still the sound kept going even though I off-ed my media players.

Then I happen to see this dark ad with some blobby sack thing from the page I was reading manga from and realised the sound was coming from there. Alright, so my cursor passed over it to make it shut up, but it made this panicky sound BEFORE shutting up.

It's been coming up whenever I read - so much that i'm getting freaked numb from it - and what annoys me is that if you don't pay attention (passing the cursor over it) it'd continue with that weird bobbly noise. I've to refresh the pages just to hopefully switch to another advertisement just so i can enjoy the manga. Either that, or pass the cursor over and endure the panicky blob.

Can anyone do something about this? oh yea, the ad's for

o.o; Since you use firefox, why not use the add-on Noscripts and Adblock?
It should help. Unless you already have it?

Try manually blocking the ad. Find the URL of the advertisement, and then add it to the filter list in AdBlock Plus or whatever you use.
