Use Firefox and quit using Internet Explorer (for a lot of reasons).

You can avoid many of these Windows problems with Linux. Linspire eases the transition for new users

As well as using the SP2 pop-up blocker, I also use free pop-up stopper They work great together. But also if you set your SP2 pop-up stopper to high, you have to use a ctrl>enter prompt to see pop-ups that you need to see
HTH....good luck
Hopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results....thanks

if you want to use IE anyway just install MSN toolbar. it has got a good pop up blocker. and guess what it supports tabed browsing too. it can be downloaded from http://toolbar.msn.com/ thanx.

The Google toolbar is an excellent pop-up blocker. Also go to Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services, scroll down to Messenger, and adjust the properties to Disabled. Reboot. That should help a lot.
