You could consider downloading pop up stopping software. Follow the link for this and other useful security software. http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file_description/0,fid,8060,00.asp0

Change from Internet Explorer to Mozilla Firefox. Apart from having less security holes it has its own pop-up blocker..If you are interested you can check it out at http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.0

Another vote for Firefox. If you don't want to switch browser then the Google toolbar is good and Norton Firewall will also block them. Both Google and Norton can be configured to alow some popup's through.0
