moving ads driving me mad

I'm came on recently to complain about the number of ads that appear on the desktop site that flicker and move around. I thought that it might be a problem with my laptop but I've just had it back from a clean and it's still happening. Is it normal? if so, I'll have to stop using the site.
Examples are - Tescos, at the top, Royal Navy (!!), something about having to update my media player. Those ones about losing stomach fat, or wrinkles, or mum is 53 looks 35. There's one on now about someone making £170 a day from home.

Hi Carla,

Thanks for letting us know. If you could send us some screenshots of the wrinkles advert and the weight loss one that would be really handy.

Advertising is how we make our revenue, but if you spot any that are particularly annoying or intrusive, please do flag them and we'll take a look.
