How do you know that a pop up blocker is enabled?? I assume your "problem" is that you can't get certain windows. For example, some virtual credit card numbers are generated via a pop up window, and having a pop up blocker enabled will prevent that window from appearing. Another example . . . yahoo's PageBuilder site for editing a free geocities web site will not load if a pop up blocker is enabled. And certain on line scans, like Panda's I think, also rely on pop up windows. I'm sure there are other examples, but these three come to mind immediately.
I also assume that by "windows blocker" you mean the IE pop up blocker . . . do you??
Do you have the Goolgle Toolbar?? That has a pop up blocker also.
Most pop up blockers will allow you to receive pop ups from designated web sites. For example, even if you have the Google Toolbar pop up blocker enabled, if you press a certain combination of keys (I can't remember what they are), it will "let through" pop ups from the web site.
Anyway, if you can be more specific about your "problem", that may be a clue.
And, no, I'm not aware of any program that detects what pop up blockers are enabled, but one may exist. Perhaps some other poster can point to one.
