What is your operating system? If XP, have you upgraded to Windows XP Service Pack 2 = http://www.komando.com/tips_wxpsp2.asp ? If not, I suggest you do so, for amoung other security reasons it stops unwanted popups by disableing Windows Messenger Service and Alerter by default. = =SP2 = support.microsoft.com = http://support.microsoft.com/windowsxpsp2
This is a good popup blocker:

Just use Norton Antivirus or Yahoo or AOL program that when activated it turns off pop-ups from all sites.

You must be using Internet Explorer.
Dump it and use Mozilla Firefox. No security problems and has built in blocker and a lot more.

Try to use OPERA or FIREFOX for browsing (in my oppinion they work better and faster than M$IE) and have lot better pop-up/under blocking mechanisms. Neither is 100% guaranteed p-u free, but you will get a good 99.8%

There is no "all in one" cure. It will depend on which popups you are getting.
