Optimizing IE

I am using IE, I'm not sure which version, but I'm sure it's a newer one. What I'm trying to do is turn off some thing while I'm surfing, like say I go to a web page, and there are little looping playback advertising. like say a Toyota advertisment. What option in internet option>>Advanced>>Browsing>> would turn that crap off?.. Also, is there an explanation somewhere, or maybe a webpage someone can direct me to that could explain all these boxes, and what they do? For instance.... there is a box, ENABLE THIRD PARTY BROWSER EXTENSIONS???? What the hell does that mean? One more thing. While I was looking for the version of IE I am using. I typed IE in my search box, and I had 3 options. IE 64-bit, IE, and IE with no ADD-ons. Is there a difference between IE 32, and IE 64? I know this may be alot to cover, but who better to ask?? Thanks guys.

Sweet, nice read and thanks a bunch. Hopefully this will help out with some of my recent pop-ups.......????? Maybe some spyware. I'm thinking I may need to do a COMPLETE clean instead of the weekly maintence. Thanks again. :major
