I use Firefox 9.0.1 and BT Yahoo mail. The ads in BT Yahoo are totally inappropriate for me and are driving me mad, but when I try to change them using Yahoo's interest-based ad chioces they say my browser does not support interest-based ad chioces. Is there anything I can do, apart from changing either Firefox or Yahoo?

Why just block those ads?

This just started today. I get the following interest based add that I can't get rid of. It says to click on the close box to stop the enhancements but they keep reappearing. And to make matters worse ads are now appearing on yahoo; I click on opt out but each time I relog on, the ads are there again and it shows that I never opted out. It's even worse with IE; the popup add below appears and I can't even opt out.

I clicked on the so-called plugin removal tool but it's inactive. I ran norton power eraser and it's not showing up as malicious software.
