I use a product from www.adsgone.com that works quite well. I haven't gotten a pop-up in ages. It won't filter your e-mail though, but I've found that with the right filters in Outlook Express I can pre-delete many. My latest ZoneAlarmPro upgrade (firewall, version 3.0) claims pop-up killer protection, too, but I haven't tried it since I'm using the AdsGone product. I also use Norton Antivirus and haven't encountered any conflicts between these three applications.

(OT) Privacy software. There used to be a deal where you got both programs for $40. You can also download free versions of both programs. adsubtract.com zonelabs.com Excellent purchase. Very pleased with them. I have to switch off "Ad Subtract" now and again to access various places like Yahoo. Easy enough to wipe out the cookies afterwards though. Have a good look around both sites. Worth a visit. I am sure the government spooks can easily get around this stuff of course. Keeps out the other riff raff though.-g-

webattack.com I like Popupkiller a lot. You can configure it to ask so that you don't lose things you want to pop up (i.e. the KITCO gold chart), and then you can add things to your "black list" or keep them with the "exclusions" list. It gives a satisfying BANG! each time it kills a window.
