Many people who use Firefox have the AdBlock Plus add-on installed. Install the Adblock Plus Element Hiding Helper and you can select the frame containing said advertisement.
There are several elements so it might be tricky, but you want the TD frame.
Example: accountonline.com#TD(colspan=2)

And most importantly: CALL AND COMPLAIN!!! Do you want a future where all you see are advertisements everywhere you look? You can give them your soul and your family and it’ll never be enough..

Appreciate the Greasemonkey script. Found them really annoying, then came across a Lifehacker post which linked to you and your solution. Thanks very much!

I had noticed these and tried to ignore them… Pretty cool work around. Thanks :)

Here’s another idea: call their 1-800 number telling them its unwelcome spam.

And when I say call them, I mean repeatedly. If you’ve got a spare half hour, try 20 or so times.

For those without Greasemonkey, an alternative solution would be to use the “Stylish” Firefox extension and add custom CSS. The same effect can be obtained — and with just a few simple lines, too:
@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml); @-moz-document domain("www.accountonline.com") { tr.promo-message {display:none !important;} }

*Note: this code is untested, so the actual implementation may be slightly different from this example.
