You need to "catch up" on the group, which is bound to c. That makes
Gnus record all unread articles as read, so only new ones will show up
as unread.


Regarding your w3-problem I suggest you either submit some more details
about your system (I use Debian GNU/Linux and use w3m - by installing
the package w3m-el¹) or find a group where the w3-developers hang out.


  Welcome to Gnus,

¹ Configured in my ~/.gnus like this (which may or may not be outdated):

 ; Show HTML with w3m:
 (setq mm-text-html-renderer 'w3m)

 ; Follow links in w3m with browse-url:
 (add-hook 'gnus-article-mode-hook
           (lambda ()
             (set (make-local-variable 'w3m-goto-article-function)
                  'browse-url)))
