I think it's an ad for cbeebies, but I can't look too much, it makes me want to climb in and strangle them!

You CANNOT miss it.

Perhaps better to ask about ad blocking in the Geeky stuff area...

If it's any help, there's an add-on for Firefox which stops 'Flash' items from running (they are quite common on websites, unfortunately).

I find some Flash items a nuisance as they start playing music, or are highly animated or 'cover' some portion of the screen when you accidentally move the mouse over some part of a web page.

Only one of my PCs even has Flash on it, because it has been used for viruses etc, and the one with it on has the Flash blocker. It shows a button marked "F" so if I want to, I can use it (eg on YouTube) but it stops me seeing an awful lot of distracting ads, etc.
