Weird ads showing up in web pages

I think I have posted this before; but I'll repeat.  You can automatically
clear your cache whenever the machine re-boots by adding this statement to
the autoexec.bat:

rem LINE TO CLEAR BROWSER CACHE
echo y |del c:\netscape\cache\*.*
echo y |del c:\iexplore\cache\*.*

The straight up line |  can also look like two dots one over the other on
the right hand side of your keyboard under the backspace (or delete) key.

Some Windows95 person will have to post how this line is added to the
Windows95 autoexec.bat lookalike.  Does anyone know how to do this on a Mac
(just for the heck of it?)
