A quick and easy method of stopping adverts is to add the reference to your Windows Hosts file. The format is explained in the comments in the hosts file, but basically you map the name of the ad server to your internal loopback IP address.

The hosts file lives in %systemroot%/system32/drivers/etc

i.e. add the following line. Reboot and see if it still happens.
"...
127.0.0.1 adserver.adtech.de
..."
