get yourself a firewall such as Zonealarm and a popup blocker such as google's

Adaware and things like that won't actually do much to stop them, they just inform you of any junk loitering on your system

i use google toolbar, works a treat.

PopThis is a good free pop-up stopper...lightweight and unobtrusive and no spyware. No Windows tray icons or toolbars to litter the place up either!

In IE then Goole Toolbar gets my vote (you can also search google immediately - very handy!)

Or try out Firefox as a browser.
