It's not a "news" group, it's a group for "NeWS".  The name has three parts:
The "comp" part refers to the fact that it concerns computers.
The "windows" part refers to the fact that it concerns window systems.  
The "news" part refers to the fact that it concerns Sun Microsystem's 
Network extensible Window System in particular.

Note that the group has nothing to do with Microsoft Windows, as 
that has its own newsgroup, namely "comp.windows.ms".  Presumably,
this has already been explained, but perhaps it wasn't made clear.

I suggest that you speak to your system administrator, explain
the situation, and ask him to follow you outside and repeatedly
bang your head on the pavement until it all makes sense.
