Same here -- although of course we are not in any way recommending that you take measures to avoid viewing our site's wonderful ads lol.
Seriously though. I tried disabling Adblock to see the ads but for some reason I was unable to see the ad you describe. All I see is a rather annoying animated ad that can't be right-clicked on, below the WindowSecurity logo, and a couple of square banners on the left hand side menu.

I use Google Chrome and I don't know if there is an add-on that will fix this for me. As you can see - when the ad is activated VIA mouse over - it obstructs a good portion of the page and I have to click somewhere on the background to make it go away. As I go between tabs frequently, my mouse is constantly activating this ad and thus is constantly a source of annoyance.

I also only see a one inch high rectangular banner ad and a couple at the left, nothing that changes on a rollover.

It was on a different machine than mine, and I unfortunately don't remember the specifics. I believe it was on a friend's laptop, running either a vanilla installation of Firefox without AdBlock, or Internet Explorer.
