Add a line like this at the bottom:

127.0.0.2 googleads.g.doubleclick.net

After that, you should see a little red x where you used to see an ad. You're basically telling your computer a bogus address for that item, so it won't be able to find it, which means you don't have to look at it.

I have a couple dozen that I've added to my hosts file. If you see an ad you don't like, right-click and go to properties and look for the website address of the item. This works great for traditional ad images, flash ads aren't so easy.

Here are some suggestions:

127.0.0.2 ad.doubleclick.net
127.0.0.2 plusone.google.com
127.0.0.2 ad.hotmail.com
127.0.0.2 a.rad.msn.com
127.0.0.2 www.pulse360.com
127.0.0.2 click.pulse360.com
127.0.0.2 static.pulse360.com
127.0.0.2 click.pulse360.com
127.0.0.2 googleads.g.doubleclick.net
127.0.0.2 doubleclick.net
127.0.0.2 ads1.msn.com
127.0.0.2 g.msn.com
127.0.0.2 web.adblade.com
127.0.0.2 ads2.msads.net
127.0.0.2 googleads.g.doubleclick.net
127.0.0.2 pubads.g.doubleclick.net
127.0.0.2 adclick.g.doubleclick.net
127.0.0.2 pagead2.googlesyndication.com
