Do you see a way to get rid of this ad that popped into view? I don’t:
Unless I’m really, really interested in the article, I’m just going to leave when something like this happens, rather than puzzle out how to dismiss the ad. And if it happens often enough, I’m going to avoid the site in the first place — or beef up my ad filters. Attempting to show me ads that are too intrusive and rude will result in me attempting to block all your ads.
Incidentally, if I click on ‘Click Here’, nothing happens, probably because the developers of the ad only thought about Internet Explorer.

I hate those things. I have noticed they often go away after a couple seconds if you move the mouse focus away from the ad, but still, a horribly obnoxious form of advertising.
I’d need to have the URL to be sure, but i’m willing to bet that you could block this nonsence with some mischief in your userContent.css
perhaps something like:
div[id="ad"] {display: none !important;}
