popup killer is working fine so far:popup killer

one way to kill pop ups is to just disable java and javascript.

in ie6 you can go to

tools > internet options
click 'security' tab
make sure you on the globe (i.e. internet zone)
click 'custom level'
scroll to the 'scripting' section (near the bottom)
click 'disable'/'enabled'/'prompt'
click okay and you are done

hope that helps somewhat

I use Pop-Up Stopper from panicware.com with XP Pro and it works just fine.

I've been using WebWasher 3.0, and it does more than block popups - it blocks ads. It's a helpful bandwidth saver, since it removes the need for your computer to download unnecessary graphics you'd probably ignore.

My vote goes to PopUp Killer. I also tried PopUp Stopper, but removed it withing 5 minutes (did not work as well).

Just use Opera; it blocks pop-ups by default, and is the best browser I've ever used to boot.
