Yeh - poppups suck!! My trusty google toolbar has inbuilt poppup stopping which seems to work ok, but if you need something more hardcore, try this lil fella:

and may i suggest changing your browser to something that will not easily crashed/fucked over by massive amount of popups:

mozilla firefox

popup blocker, tabbed browsing, lightweight, fully CSS1/2 compliant

definitive answer to all your browsing need

For Ad-ware ----> Ad-Aware It

For Spyware ---> Spybot Search and Destroy

For Viruses ---> www.free-av.com

I use all three together and it works really well to keep my computer clean.

The anti-virus is particularly good, free, and it doesn't fuck up anything on your computer. It also runs in the background, so it alerts you as soon as a Trojan appears in an email or something.

latest maxthon's in-built popup blocker is awesome!
