i get on to my microsoft msn, and one of its in-frame sponsors pop up and blocks half my msn window untill i click it away, to which it instantly pops up again a second time

THANK YOU, MICROSOFT!

They do it 'cause they love you.

They do it 'cause they love you. 

if there is one thing in the universe, that most of all pushes my atheistic mind towards a religious mindset, its microsoft and computers.

it seems so deliberate.
sometimes its so well timed too.
sometimes a computer error will coordinate even with something completely unrelated, like my cat about to tilt something over, or people calling,
it just knows

You need you some PeerBlock and add the Spyware and Adware lists to your filterset. Perhaps block them on HTTP as well.

it wasnt an actual popup, thats what i considered "ironic"

it was a "legitimate" sponsor of ms msn, but that "popped up", as in, grew out of its frame on mouse-over.

"legally" its probably all a-okay, its technically not a popup, but behaves exactly like one, while being endorsed by microsoft

There's plenty of tools out there to stop MSN ads.

[SBI_Patience]

Have you tried downloading a-patch for msn? You can block these annoying pesky ads that way.

[DukeNukem]

How about trying aMSN? It's an open-source alternative to MSN which works pretty much the same way and has no ads.

I have used peerblock for quite a while
