Can someone please tell me where to go on MSN internet
explorer 6.0 to block popups. I can seem to find the
option to do so.

There are several types of popups. You may want to read all of this.

I do not believe MSN IE has a popup stopper.
The Google toobar has a very nice popup stopper.

Spyware popups.
---------------------
The best spyware removal tools are Ad-Aware available from
http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/ or
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/ and SpyBot available from
http://tomcoyote.org/SPYBOT/ and update the reference file
through the Online update function. Run it and select all items and
remove.
You may have to reboot and rerun a couple of times to completely remove it.
Also run the Immunize function to
prevent these nasties from installing again.

Install a good HOSTS file.
Blocking Ads with a Hosts File and AdShield. Under the Security Tab download
the hosts.zip file.

Messenger service popups.
--------------------------------
These windows are sent to your system using the Messenger service.
You should use a firewall to block your file/printer sharing
ports (TCP/UDP ports 135, 137, 138, 139, and 445) from the Internet.
Or you can disable the Messenger service (not Windows or MSN instant
Messenger)
using services.msc on Windows 2000 or XP but this still leaves your system
visable on the Internet.

I'm using "Pop Up Blocker and Ad Killer for Kazaa", it works very well
and is free. It says it is make especially for Kazaa, but it deals
with ordinary Internet Explorer pop-ups that you get when surfing the
web too.
