I have managed to switch off most movement on Advertisements, I find it very distracting. But some still move does anyone know how to get rid of it totally.
And the emoticons have stopped bouncing about :icon_cheers:
I am also systematically opting out of any companies with ads which do not open in a separate window.
We have an add-on for Firefox called Adblock Plus. It stops all adverts.
With Internet Explorer you can do one of these two things ...for you the first would probably be the best I guess but both will stop the emoticons and all other movement not just the advertisements.
Method 1
1
Open Internet Options from either the Control Panel (Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Internet Options), or from Internet Explorer ( Tools -> Internet Options).

Click on the Advanced tab.

Scroll down to the Multimedia category.
4
Remove the check from the Play animations in webpages option.
5
Click the "OK" button.
Method 2
1
Let the webpage load.

Press 'Esc' on your keyboard. This will stop all the animated images in a page.
