Question Pop Ups
Does any one know of a program that will block pop ups and has a feature to allow certain domains?

Trust me , you won't get any popups. You could try a site for wallpaper or themes. They are loaded with popups.

Be careful around those porn site. They hijack your browser and fill you with spyware which another issue.

You may want to also use Spybot search and destroy as adaware doesn't get all spyware just as spybot doesn't.
