whole page flickers including the text and pictures, mostly other web pages

A monitor display or drivers issue? How long has this been going on?
You can block ads using a HOSTS file but I don't suspect that is your
problem. Try HOSTS and see if that improves your situation.

The HOSTS file installation cured your ills? Sounds good to me.
Post back if you need anything else.

Cheers!

siljaline,
Nice catch! .........

Most likely it's these 2 culprits!
1) server-uk.imrworldwide.com = Red Sheriff
2) SRC='/ads/doubleclick/
