I wish I could stop the K-Mart ads when opening E-bay.

I won't leave the window on E-bay(logged out) now.

Displaying basic google doesn't have ads.

I use Adblock Plus in Firefox and don't see any ads. It is free!

It's not a google problem you're having.. It's most likely malware/spyware/adware that's causing that..

You need to do a malware/spyware scan with your AV software and see what shows up..

Otherwise, if you use Firefox or Chrome, then you can get AdBlock Plus and you won't see any ads

Google ads are very common on a lot of sites, including eBay. You can't get rid of them, per se, as the advertisers are paying for them to appear - much like on TV, it's not an option to remove them. Adblock Plus (the Firefox add-on mentioned) will block a significant amount of third-party advertising on the web, though.

I don't get any ads.. Even the annoying ones at the start of You Tube videos.

They had this message a while ago: "We can see you use AdBlock plus.. Please consider adding us to your safe list" Pfffftt!
