If I want to buy a product, I will look for it myself.
I don't want to be advertised at, especially when those adverts lag my machine (flash), annoy me with loud nasty music, or worse, obscure content. This applies to the television too, where the film is often left running while adverts are played (specifically 'Lost', showing on UK terrestrial channel Five). With the amount of advertising for some shows on TV, I am sick of them by the time the show is aired, and I've lost interest in watching the show at all.
Many of the ads are irrelevant to me in any case. I don't have a car, a mortgage, children or pets. I hate logos, ringtones and other crap for mobile phones (especially where there's a certain frog involved!). If I'm buying PC parts then I use a specific dealer, ditto for games.
