It was set to false already but thanks for the suggestion. 

I think they are different types of advert. Ones that are blockable show
the link in the status bar when the pointer is on them but the other
ones don't.

For example this page: 

http://www.expressindia.com/cricket/fulliestory.php?content_id=69972

It works for the ads on the right but not the ones at the top.

When I right click those it says 'about macromedia flash player' but
'settings...' is greyed out.

Can I disable this some other way?

Not only do they flicker and distract you but they also make the fan
come on, doubly annoying.
