How do you block 'match.com' ads off email account?

I want "match.com" ads OFF my email page! They pop up randomly, completely cover the screen so I can't do anything! It disables all email function - there is no way to x it out or escape from the entire page being covered with the ad. I have to completely log out and in again to get out of it!! I consider this invasive and predatory advertising! Very inflammatory!!

When I go to the ad opt-out program, it does not allow me to opt out of match.com without opting out of all yahoo ads. I don't have any problem with routine yahoo ads; if this is the only way to get rid of them, I will do so, but was hoping to avoid that.

Update:

Wanda. This is happening on my other email account, also with yahoo. Last night I clicked the refresh button and it erased it, but I am leary to claim that this is a solution until I see that it works all the time. I also turned complaints in to the advertising regulatory agency posted by yahoo. Yahoo does not allow a complaint of this nature to be submitted under their current menu, so I saw no other recourse!!

    This is not an answer. I just posted the exact same problem last night and was searching for the solution again tonight, as it has happened again. I totally agree with what you wrote. Where's the solution?

    When you look at the ad to the right there will be a light gray arrow next to the ad on the left near the bar, click on that small arrow and it says hide ads. That will take it away.

    hide ads only takes it away for a while - how do we make it stop - I hate seeing these
