i use norton internet security it has never vlocked a window that is supose to come up and only once in a blue moon does a pop up get through and you can manuallly block it then.
Turn off Windows Messenger. Check out BlackViper.com for instructions
As for the pop ups, just get a browser like Opera or Firebird that has pop up blocking built in. I use both browsers and I haven't seen an unwanted pop up yet.
yea, just get a better browser, I like myie2 but any listed above make a better browser than just ie
try out the 'full' version of AD MUNCHER ;)

i don't use a pop up blocker well ok its called ad-aware but it doesn't work like a normal pop up blocker its free at downloads.com
ad-aware just lets you scan for adwares after they've been installed on your cpu
try going to astalavista and see how many pop-ups you run into
(before i installed ad muncher i was gettin barraged by em) not 1 now :D
oh yeah, and a good hosts file helps too, but you kinda gotta build it to your preferences
try zonealarm, the best firewall and pop-up blocker u can get
Please do a search on the forum for Pop up blockers and testers. There has been a topic before where we measured the statistics of each program to see its efficiency. Ad Muncher i believe came out to be very good.
There is no need to go into discussions which one is the best, you can find that yourself in that thread. ;)

For messenger popup's you have to shut down your messenger service.
