The snake
Perhaps this has been mentioned before; if so, I apologize for being redundant. I am posting to find out if there is a way to block that snake ad which seems for me to pop up more than any other ad in FT. It is an eyesore and frankly I have a fear of snakes. Yes, it is irrational. I am not complaining about the presence of advertising. I just want to block out an ad which personally bothers me.
Is there anything I can do?

When starting to download ad muncher, I got a warning window from IE saying that the publisher could not be verified and that the file did not have a valid digital signature which verifies its publisher. What should I make of this warning?

I've blocked the ads from the domain for that ad.

I can always have Ad Blocking on, but sometimes it needs to be off in order to view some sites... At the same time I'm browsing FT and the Snake just scared the Hell out of me one time...
But now I have come to terms with it... Just don't look that way

It was the subject of some other FT threads.
