How did I know that Norton was the one blocking those porn ads? The moment I uninstalled Norton Internet Security 2004, the porn ads appeared on those sites to my surprise because I had been using those sites for a year or so and hadn't seen them before.
And I tried numerous other Anti-adware programs and Anti-virus (with anti-adware bundled with them) in an attempt to solve the porn-ad program, but none of them worked.
That is the reason why I believe Norton Internet Security is one of the best there is out there.

AdBlock Plus + NoScript will do wonders, and a little hosts file blocking wouldn't hurt, either.

NoScript was caught busted red headed modifying AdBlock Plus so that Adblock did not block the ad's on NoScript's website.
Needless to say millions chose ABP Over NoScript.

Millions is a bit of an overstatement. It was corrected in the next release, and it only affected you if you visited NoScript's website, anyways. While I was disappointed in NoScript's author, I saw no reason to give up a valuable addon simply for minor philosophical reasons.
