I was told Ad-Subtract works well. Never used it though. I use the popup stopper that comes with norton internet security and very few popups get through.

I haven't had any need for a popup stopper since I started using Crazy Browser. It has it's own popup stopper built in. Give it a try.

Just use Mozilla or Opera as your browser. Both have pop-up blocking built in.
IE blows anyway.

James,
If you decide to give Crazy Browser a try, you'll find that it can be configured to look and behave very much like I.E. If you can't find it, email me and I'll send you the setup file.

If you don't want to use a browser that suppresses pop-ups, you're going to get pop-ups.
....and Sci-Guy, I'm going to give Crazy Browser a try.
