My guess is that this is a table that's created within an article with 1 row and mutiple columns.
Each column has a .gif file which is linked to an external source (like an ad).
This article is saved in a seperate category.
A Module with Newsflash is selected which points to this category and the position is placed below the menu in the template.

That's my best guess on how to go about it.

Create a Category
Create an article. Insert a table with multiple columns but single row in this using HTML code with invisible borders
Insert your images (the example uses .gif images) in each column
Hyperlink these images using the editor in the article.
Save Article.
Go to Control Panel > Module Manager
Create New Module as Newsflash
Select category where this ad like article is placed.
Select Position based on your templates available one.
Save and Check.
