If you're talking about the advertisement on the main page to the right, the sidebar you can easily hide it.

Please try now, sidebar adv. box isn't connected to Ad plugin and like that there was no way to determinate if the logged user is a member of specific group (in this case one of the upgraded groups), i've made some edits in it.
