Answer 1

Use this link and get the free browser which has very effective pop-up blocking built in. It's a better browser than Internet Explorer (in my opinion) and much easier to install than Firefox.

Answer 2

First forget AOL they are loaded with there own adware.

I use all of the following but you can use any part you like.
(do not run 2 anti-virus at the same time. 2 of any other programs are ok though.)

I use all of the following Free software with Windows XP SP2 and Internet Explorer with MSN toolbar and the pop-up blocker turned on and have never had a single problem with my computer sense Microsoft came out with SP2. (knock on wood.) (And be sure to keep Windows and the following software Updated)


The best Anti-virus is: AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition. (www.grisoft.com)

The Best Spyware defense is: SpyBot Search and Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html)<--English version

AND: AdAware SE (www.lavasoft.com)
AND Spyware Blaster (http://www.javacoolsoftware.info/kb/)
The best Firewall besides the one that comes with Windows is: Zone Alarm (http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/co... or just (www.zonelabs.com) and select the FREE version.

These are all FREE and are all that are required. There is no reason to pay for this kind of software, except to give a donation to the writers if you can.
ALL the above programs are recommended and should be run on a regular basis. With some the free versions they must be run manually.

The best way to avoid getting any Malware (virus, Trojan's, spyware, etc) is to practice safe computing. Microsoft and many others have countless articles on the subject of safe computing. (something I think should be taught in schools)

Answer 3

XP Service Pack 2 provides one free with Internet Explorer.

Tools->Pop-up Blocker

Answer 4

consider switching to Firefox as your browser.

if you are getting lots of pop ups then its possible you have a virus and /or spyware
consider removing it using spybot or windows defender (on MS systems)

if you have a severe infection then chase your antivirus supplier and give them an earfull. you really shouldn't be running a computer connected to an (outside) network withiut running a firewall and anti virus. neither cost a great deal, especailly if you think of the time required to correct virus problems. lots of solutions out there (personally I use Norton, but McAfee and others all seem to do a similar job for anywhere beteween £20 & £60
