Use Opera or Mozilla browser. Built in popup killing features. 
Opera has one that will be no popups at all, or only when you click on something you want to click on.
It's my preferred browsing browser.

I use Pop-Up Stopper Pro. You can get it HERE and get a crack for it HERE.
Edit: They are working now. When you goto get the crack, put in Pop-Up Stopper Pro and select "ASTALAVISTA.BOX.SK(porn pop ups)". WARNING: as the selection states, when you click on search, some porn will pop up and some of the pages contain porn so don't do it from work unless you are the boss and it doesn't matter.

zdnet.com has links to a few good ones. but the best way is to quit surfing porn on free xxxpasswords sites.

Thankee for all the replies, sure gonna try some of that later.
It's nice that those things are around, but I wish those pop ups weren't around to begin with. I can deal with one pop up on a page but FFS some pages pop one up every 5 seconds, it's getting retarded. And not ONLY that but they start installing programs on your PC that you don't even f*****g want. And if that's not enough, once you find the actual download window between all the other craptasticness you find that the cancel download button is greyed out. WHAT THE... ?? You have to cntr-alt-del that shit out. m********k.
It's a conspiracy I tell you!

I use Pop-up stopper.
Also picked up SpyBot to get rid of spyware. Better than Ad-Aware so far I think. Especially since you can click for descriptions before you decide to delete.
