As per suggestions of one of our member, I installed flash selector (*www.codeproject.com/KB/atl/FlashSelector.aspx). It did block the flash ads and at the same time blocked all flash files without giving me any option to allow it or not. Besides, the explorer crashes every now and then. I had to restart my browser thrice to get to reply here. I am looking for a way to uninstall the damn thing.

This is for vaibhavtek,
I really can't blame you because your intentions were to help. Unfortunately, the link that you gave me to dowload foxie led me to download the software that is riddled with trojan/virus. If you too had downloaded it, update your antivirus and run a scan of your system. And please edit the post rendering the link "unusable". Scanning the downloaded file does not show any virus but the process of installing it does. Try it yourself if you want. Please send an email to those hosting the file that they are hosting an infected file, I will do my part.
I am still battling with this damn win32 trojan I got while trying to save myself from the flash ads!!!

@Sridhar_Rao - You should have researched on Foxie. Its widely known to carry a malware in it.
Follow the resource below to get rid of its NSIS Media Malware infection:

What you get for following leads a person searches to give you and not out of his own experience.

This is for qwertymaniac, the page you suggested reads "This tutorial will explain what NSIS Media is, how you got infected with NSIS Media, and what you need to do IMMEDIATELY to remove NSIS Media from your PC and repair your FireFox browser".
As you can read, it applies to firefox and I am an Internet Explorer 7 user.
I got rid of flash selecter, which crashed the browser every few seconds and thank god my system appears to be safe as I did not let the installation of foxeit complete.
After these two experiences, now I am really scared to install any plugins. As a last resort I will try the iepro7 and keep my finger crossed.
BY the way, I run windows defender, comodo firewall, avast antivirus, lavasoft as well as search & destroy anti-spyware.

I don't know which one are you asking for, if it is about the flash selector, it is simple. Go to add-remove program, select the flash selector and uninstall it. Run the spybot search & destroy. Update them all, run through scan. All this must be done as soon as possible.
It is for this reason that I had mentioned in bold letters "based on user experience", but unfortunately, people here jump to suggest based on no experience, this is definitely not a good practice.

This is a forum, where people ask questions and others reply. Yes, people don't have to reply, but they do because their intention is to help each other. Unfortunately, I had to deal with a bad download that was infected. In any case, it would always be better to advice when one has a personal experience dealing with the issue.
While I thank the community for coming forth with useful replies, no offence was intended to anyone.
The hidden trojan was detected by Avast antivirus when it was being installed and not by Spybot. After the installation was aborted, a full scan by Avast detected few more infected files. One file was in use and could not be manually deleted. I had to run Task manager to end the process and then delete it. As a safety measure I also ran spybot to detect if any malware were also installed in the process. No malwares were found in my system by Spybot S&D.

i guess he is talkin about the pop-up blocker
AFAIK IE7 does not have any in-built ad-blocker
i guess d MS guyz themselves have no faith in the performance of its popup blocked
they featuring Bayden PopupPopper as the Recommended Add-ons
