Another solution is Quero, which allows you to easily toggle Flash on or
off:

I use Avant which is a 3rd party freeware shell for IE. It has numerous
enhancements, inlcuding a flash blocker, that can be toggled from the menu
or you can add a button to toggle it. Avant can be found here:

The ads drove me nuts too what I do is click tools , manage add-ons ,Enable
or disable add-ons then disable shockwave flash
This works for Vista or XP
For the times you want flash working just enable it again.
As ju.c says IE7Pro is good but I have found some adds still get past it
well worth having though as it has lots of good features
