For popups I highly recommend using Opera browser instead of IE. I am among the newly converted to Opera.

I've heard a lot of good things about the Google Toolbar. I have just started using it on one of my machines at work.

toolbar.google.com

When IE was my main browser I used this one. It's very effective. I now use Mozilla which has a built in popup stopper.
