I've used Google Toolbar for some time now - does a good job of blocking nasties and is useful to boot

XP SP2 one drives me up the wall - looks like something written in a back bedroom as well! Googlebar works for me

Mozilla Firefox, replaces IE6 and stops all the pops ups. Much better that IE

 In the past, I've used Norton's Personal Firewall as a pop-up stopper, however, with Firefox, I've not needed to use it.

I'd definitely recommend Firefox, not only because of that specific feature, but because of the browser as a whole.

Another vote here for Google Toolbar. Effective and full of useful functions.
