Gigabyte Ad Banners

A couple of Gigabyte's ad banners seem either to take forever to completely load...or never completely load. In the status bar of my browser (MSIE), it will eternally read "(1 item remaining)..." and the animated Windows Flag in the upper-right corner is eternally 'waving'. One minute....five minutes...ten minutes...doesn't matter how long I have the window open. Usually the animated portions of the Gigabyte banner appears to freeze or stop, waiting for whatever this '1 item' to finish downloading.

What is that address I can insert into my HOSTS file to block these ads? Someone posted it here a couple months ago when there was an outbreak of pop-up ads, but the viability of the search function seems to have been castrated as of late.

Just to confirm I'm getting the eternal load from the gigabyte ad too. it is rather anoying

get rid of it by adding to hosts:
