Yes it is But some firewall have built in popup blockers like norton and zone alarm I think does. I have seen about 1 a month with norton firewall...

sygates an excellent firewall, but you have to block the messenger
for it to block the messenger, make sense?

you gotta block it in your applications rules,
there that made more sense

and disabling its a good thing too
i got it blocked and disabled

Wanna know what I&#39;m using? A combination of 5 seperate programs.

* Ad Muncher (I swear by it. My favorite everything blocker to date)
* ZoneAlarm Pro with Web Filtering (For PG IP database blocklists)
* Spybot (Cleans computer of Spyware)
* SpywareBlaster (Goes hand-in-hand with Spybot. Prevents spyware from being installed on your computer)
* Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition (Keeps real nasty spyware and viruses at bay)

Unnecessary? Maybe. But I never see one ad, popup, virus... basically anything that I don&#39;t want on my computer... ever.

Edit: Forgot to mention, I hardly ever use IE. For browsing I use Mozilla Firebird, and for email, I use Mozilla Thunderbird.

That program seems just as obtrusive as a regular ad/popup:
