hi, i recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. which is most powerful in popup blocking.
besides, firefox can disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE. as you know, most of the virus is spread throught internet and webpage.
firefox is much smaller than IE, so i run faster than IE.
download firefox for free:

Pop ups are a sign that your PC is infected with spyware.

depending on the web browser you're using; it can be set to block unwanted pop-ups. It can be found under the heading of "tools" for most browsers; under "options" or "preferences" for others.
