Few Miles, Forgive me if I'm repeating what other people have told you, but the shareware program AdSubtract is fabulous. I have it set so that I receive cookies and see ads at websites whose existence I depend on, but nowhere else -- and no popup ads Anywhere. You can also set it to filter out annoyances like background music. The program has a couple of glitches that I wish were better (there are places I will take the site's cookies, but I don't want Doubleclick et al; the program doesn't dsitnguish between pop-up ads and pop-up content) but it's still a great investment (something like $29.95.)
