erm .. i think google toolbar or yahoo toolbar is good enough for stopping pop-up
i personally had 2 toolbars installed .. msn n google's .. i only found out this when i installed google toolbar .. because i hid the msn one .. lol and spyware thingy .. try spybot .. update n scan regularly .. it even scans for bad cookies .. ( not home-baked one  )u can dl at www.spybot.info .. it's a freeware |

For pop up blocking simply use Mozilla Firefox browser. And for spyware spybot is correct choice but I think you should also use Lavasoft Ad-aware which is Free like spybot and firefox.

Well, Lavasoft Ad-ware 6, Bazooka scanner, Spybot-Search and destroy, and Spyware Doctor, are some of the best free programs I've used to get rid of pop ups and spyware. You can find them at http://www.download.com

The best solution is to switch to a more secure browser which cannot be hijacked as easily as IE. With firefox, I haven't ran adaware, spybot, avg in the time since I began to use it. Firefox also blocks the majority of popups and has features such as extensions and tabs.
If you still want to stay with IE, get the google toolbar and don't forget to get SP2. |

QUOTE(solankyno1 @ Oct 19 2004, 03:56 PM) Mozilla Firefox browser Is the best browser around, secure, fast and more.

Ad-ware is a exelent option, but hte best way to avoid the spyware is using the mozilla firefox, a good antivus like Panda or Avast and be caruful of what i open. |

for ur purpose u can use a few browser which have pop-up blocker built in.
mozilla firefox and myie2/maxthon are few. google/yahoo toolbars also have pop-up blockers. I personally have been using myie2 and google toolbar. Netscape 7 also has a popup blocker. spybot is just enough for preventing spywares. |
