The new Google Search toolbar does a good job of blocking Pop ups. www.google.com got to services and download the Toolbar, you can open and run it from there (small footprint).

Eliminating SPAM is a continual battle. Start with a good ISP who will scan it for you and then numerous prgrams that require constant attention;

To stop popups I use goole's search bar popup blocker. It is very effective and it is free. Go to goole.com....then ....Services & Tools....then .........all bout us and there is a option for free download.

1. goto lavasotusa.com , download adaware

2. Goto google.com and get their toolbar - free pop-up blocker

3. Go into your services through control panel.. and disable MESSENGER SERVICE.. this is not msn messenger, but the system messanger. (Grey pop up ads)

Yes, using Ad-Aware & SpyBot in conjunction with regular updates and adding a Google toolbar is the best bet.
