    You can do this at the browser level but it'll be for a specific browser (IE uses Browser Helper Objects for this).
    You can do this at the WinInet level but again, this'll be IE specific since none of the other browsers use WinInet for their communications.
    You can do this at the Packet level which will need a Filter (hook) driver (you'll need the WDK for this).
    You can do this at the socket layer, which will need Socket hooks.
    You can do this at the network driver level, which will need you to make a network driver.
    You can do this at the TDI level with a TDI filter hook. (there is a tool/source on Sysinternals for this iirc).
    You can use a library like winpcap (www.winpcap.org)
    You can use a library like Windivert( (reqrypt.org/divert.html)
    You can do this by making your own proxy (needs browser/internet settings to divert all traffic to the proxy).
    Similarly you can do this by making a firewall hook driver.
    You can intercept API calls from the browsers via something like Detours (or making your own).
    Vista and 2008+ have WFP (windows filtering platform) to do stuff like this
    Simple blocking can be done with windows internet security settings or by flat out blocking (or redirecting) common ad provider sites via the HOSTS file.


    Plenty ways, which is the most suited to your needs will need a bit of investigating.
    Note that some sites won't work if you redirect or block traffic. So it may be necessary to redirect the browser to another file for display, but download the file off the add site anyway to fool them. But even that mechanism has been "found out" by some ad sites.

    Expect this to be quite a bit of work, if you're just looking for a ad blocker, then buying any of the existing ones will save you a lot of time. If you just want to know how to do it and try it for yourself, that is another matter of course
