There are some plugins available (adblock plus for Mozilla Firefox) which allows you to block advertisement from certain advertising networks like Google AdWords. You can also configure it to block ads on certain page or website only or manually block any webpage items like frames, images and flash content.

Install firewall application in your PC to limit internet usage to your browser only:
Installing firewall is recommended not only for security against internet threats and spywares, but to control the internet access in your computer or laptop. You can allow your internet browser only to access internet and block any other background service or installed application which are looking for update from their vendor’s website. So your internet browser can have access to full internet bandwidth you have. I would recommend zone alarm free firewall if you do not want to pay for it.
