Popup completely blocks window, can't be closed

[Guest]

When I try to access www.microsoft.newsgroups.com, a popup ad comes up that takes up the whole window and cannot be removed in any way. I have to put this site in my favorites to get here. How can this be stopped? I am using a pop-up stopper, it doesn't affect this problem.

When I try to access www.microsoft.newsgroups.com, a popup ad comes up that

takes up the whole window and cannot be removed in any way. I have to put this
site in my favorites to get here. How can this be stopped? I am using a pop-up
stopper, it doesn't affect this problem.

I tried going to that site, but couldn't get any popups to come up.

If it's a windows that covers the entire monitor, so you can't see the close
buttons, just push Alt-F4 to close it. If it's one of those flash ads that
comes up over the actual content of the site...I can't help you. I never
understood why any web designer would allow ads that block people from seeing
their real content...
