Get a toolbar: The Google & Yahoo! toolbars both are equipped with a pop-up blocker (only need one).
Windows XP: XP's Internet explorer is equipped with a pop-up blocker, althogu it probably doesn't work very well.

You will undoubtedly also have spyware, get any of these you dont have, I use them all.
Antiviral. (free)
AVG free. Excellent protection available from: http://www.Grisoft.com
Don't use two antiviral products together as they may be incompatible. If your Antiviral trial has run out, then remove product from your computer and get the AVG installed.

Use the Opera browser, it comes with a built in customizable pop-up blocker. And is way more secure than any other browser out there.

The Google tool bar blocker works for me. Just download,it's free. Also saves you the trouble of going to Google's home page whenever you want to Google.

Update your browser. Internet explorer blocks a lot, and Mozilla Firefox (free) does a great job with pop ups. You may have to check your browser settings.
You may also want to scan your computer for spyware - get something like Adaware (free).

I would suggest Ad-aware as well as Spybot - Search and Destroy to eradicate those pop ups first.
You might want to have google.com toolbar which I find really effective in stopping pop ups.
