nearly all the latest firewalls will do this. Norton, Mcafee, etc. But be careful, some insurance sites like tesco etc can stop working, some download sites stop working as well.

I use the Google Toolbar (http://toolbar.google.com/) and it has blocker functionality amongst other tools.

Another vote for google toolbar. I have tried a few others but this seems the most effective & it is free.

Ditto for the Google Toolbar - pop-up free for the last 6 months or so now
