Pop up problems

I also have problems with pop ups after downloading Grokster. To make it worse, they are porno pop up ads. I have popup blocker which blocks them, but if I need to turn popup blocker off to access legitimate sites, then the porno ads beginning popping up immediately. Anyone discovered a way to make them stop for good. I removed Grokster several months ago but the problem persists. Thanks for any help.
A firewall like ZONE ALARM PRO has excellent settings called AD BLOCKING, MOBILE CODE CONTROL and COOKIE MANAGEMENT that works very well and can be disabled easily, ON and OFF quickly.
