if any1 is still interested while this topic is still open, Firefox is good for popups, you can get a good addon called Addblock plus it will block most known popups and if not you can just rightlick "addblock image/frame ect"

yep, firefox is good, my other suggestion is by using www.spywareterminator.com this is a free antispyware and antipop-up, also you can integrate it with clamAV
