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.

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.

popups and spyware
Program To Get Rid Of Pop Ups And Spyware
If you use Foxfire it blocks popups, but to go a step further you can get a free ad on for it that blocks banners, pop and onpage advertising. It is called AdBlock Plus and is free. I use foxfire and AdBlock Plus and love surfing the internet popup, popunder, and advertising free!
When I have to use Internet Explorer, I have a program called AdBlocker Plus and it is not free, but it sure does help a lot even a bit with foxfire.
Those are the only tips I have for IE or Foxfire, and I do believe Foxfire is the best way to go!

I don't use any program, I have Firefox, Opera and Maxthon for any problem, and a hosts file full of poping sites addresses  And I stay away of sites with this kind of behaviour.
