Well, we gave solutions to your pop-up problem before wandering.
1. Stop using IE or at least relegate it to merely one of a list of alternative browsers. In other words, download and try out:
Opera 7 and Mozilla, both of which can solve pop-up blocking and they don't recognize Microsoft's Active controls either (killing other advertising forms).
2. Try out one of the pop-up blocking programs mentioned in the thread. The one I use is Pop-up Stopper, which is very good for me, but some people find it fails to work on certain configurations. IIRC there were another couple mentioned in the thread too.
EDIT While checking my links I found a download announced at Opera.com giving us
The Swedish Chef!
Text accompaniment reads:
Get your own copy of Opera's Bork! Bork! Bork! edition. Warning: Will translate www.msn.com into the language of the Swedish Chef.
Makes sense to me! :D
