Yes, it's starting to become a mess, especially lately. Here is the thread that was started on it.....

I'm getting them for both Circuit City and Lincoln. As if any mbworld user would really consider trading in a Benzo for a Town Car or get their sound system done at Circuit City...

Switch to Firefox and you should be okay. See MB_Forever's link to the off topic section about this issue.

I believe IE version 6 and higher come with built-in pop-up blockers. However, this built in pop-up blocker won't help in this case because it only blocks new windows from opening not pop up scripts. But if you're interested in a stronger blocking setting for a different website, you can always change the IE blocking settings to a more aggressive profile by going to:

1) Tools --> Internet Options.
2) Click on the "Privacy" tab.
3) Under the Pop-up Blocker section, click on "Settings"
4) Under the Filter Level section, select "High: Block all pop ups (Ctrl to override)"

EDIT: issue has been fixed, thanks guys.....
