i'd say yes they do, but none seem to block out 100% of the pop ups. i use NoAds ( southbaypc.com ) and i'm pleased with it. i hear plenty of other programs mentioned here on the thread. i can't recite them all. a good rule of thumb is to keep whatever program you decide to use well updated. it's the only way to give yourself a fighting chance against these pop ups. also, recent posts alluding to SpyBot and Ad-aware make the point that by blocking and eradicating spyware from your system, fewer pop ups are seen. so i'd keep that in mind, if i were looking into ways to combat pop ups. as far as "do they cause other problems which would make one regret installing?", i can answer for NoAds and the answer is no. :)
