How do I disable the annoying green links (advertising) found on some web pages?

I'm not sure exactly what these green advertising links are called, but they're very annoying. Maybe "intellitxt"? I have downloaded Ad Blocker and it helps on the ads for facebook and twitter, which are also annoying, but I can't stop the dreaded green links. HELP!

You can look at Adblock Plus.

You need to subscribe to a Filter list (e.g. the EasyList).

Tried Adblock Plus.... didn't help.

Just to let everyone know that in searching around for the origins of the advertiser I found that in the pop up bubble that appears when cursor goes over the green link there is a button to take you to an unsubscribe page of the third party "text expand" PITA. All you need do is type in the two "hard to read" words and poof, you're off the list. Really simple when you know how.

Thanks to all who helped and I hope this fix helps someone else.
