I get really bad pop up windows, for example I could leave my computer for 10 minutes and come back with around 20 pop ups, I have a pop up blocker, but I was curious if anyone had an amazingly good one they could recommend.
Danke!! (thank you in German)

I agree with most of your answers so far, but as they are telling you where to get software and tools to help you your first best defense is a good fire wall utility. Zone Alarm, or Norton and McAfee all have good Firewalls that stop most aggressive pop-up threats then it is easy for the tools to do the rest, I use Windows Defender on my Microsoft Vista machine and on my XP box I use Norton's Internet Security 2006, AdAware, SpyBot Search and Destroy, along with Yahoo and Google, FireFox if I really have to go somewhere safe and it has gotten a pop-up before so it is not immune. But using all of these techniques the other day I had to go look for pop-ups just to see if everything was working it had been so long since I have seen a pop-up. ;-)
