This is a good one, you can add/delete any popups you want to it and comes with the most common ones already. Be careful with others because they well kill every window that pops up, say if you open a new browserfrom an existing one. That can get annoying.

I'm more interested in what I can do to prevent them than getting a tool that prevents them. I'm told I'm the only one in our company that gets the ads. So what can I do to return to the status when I did not receive any ads.

If you are the only one in your company that gets pop-up ads, then either:

a) you are the only one surfing to sites that supply pop-ups.
b) you are the only one that has scripting turned on.

Scripting (either Javascript or VBScript) is required for pop-up ads. Look in the help file for your browser on how to disable scripting if you want to do that.

Otherwise, get an anti-pop-up program or use the Mozilla browser.
