I don't, but try download programs... www.download.com ... Or whatever.
Most of them cost money though.

I use one called "Pop Up Stopper" that I got from www.downlaod.com and it's free, and works great.

What I like best about it is that it's easy to use. Most of the time I leave it off, but if I visit a site that has pop ups I'll turn it on.

When it kills a pop up the little Icon in the system tray will blink. If I want to allow the new window to open I just hold down shift and click the link.

Simple to use.

Not a popup blocker, but one thing you can do to pwn all over banner ads is alter your hosts file to loop back all the big ad servers. You can get a good one and instructions on how to do it on http://www.everythingisnt.com/hosts.html

I agree, i use opera, and it has an option that makes it so only user activated popups show up.
