Soooo I just noticed an advertisement that showed up within the last day or two, and while it isn't offensive its REALLY annoying and has popped up 90% of the time I refresh since I got it for the first time a couple of days ago.

It's an ad for Sprint, and its a pop-up ad that covers a good portion of my screen if you scroll over it. Half the time I don't even TOUCH it and it pops up. Plus if you hit CLOSE in the bottom, more often than not it takes you to another website.

SPOILER!!: Cap

Sometimes if I scroll down the page, the ad follows me

Especially if I opened the page and scrolled to the bottom REALLY fast right after it loaded. There is a similar ad for another company, but I get the Sprint one the most and wasn't able to cap that one.

I'm in the US, and this happens on Internet Explorer. It does NOT occur on Firefox if you have the Ad Blocker mentioned above, but i know some people don't have FireFox so even though I can avoid it, I figured it was at least worth reporting to see if you guys can do anything about it
