I hardly ever visit my Hotmail Page as I use OE to download and send via
Hotmail if I need to. However, after seeing your post I did visit it to
see what would happen. Noting happened, no notice like you got, no pop-up
ads. I do have the Google Tool-bar with a pop-up stopper on it, but, it
didn't register any hits so nothing was attempted. Do you have MSN
Messenger installed? That could be doing it by activating when you visit
the Hotmail site.
Possibly the reason I'm not seeing it is because I have SpyBot Search and
Destroy installed and IE inoculated. Download SpyBot
http://www.spybot.info/ install it and update it, then run it to see if
you have any spy-ware and delete any you find. Then use its Inoculate
feature, it will load references to bad cookies into IE so you will never
download them and also load a list of dangerous web sites that can
download things behind your back like certain adverts.
