Terry,
While Atrax does make a valid suggestion, I believe what you are talking
about is more along the lines of ads being brought up by a website, not by
adware on your machine.
The easiest way to deal with one of these popups is to click on the image
to make sure it is in focus and hit ALT-F4. This will kill the IE instance
that it spawned to display itself. Additionally, installing some sort of
pop-up blocked would probably help as well.
