How to block online popups?

Hi arno,

You have a number of options, however, I recommend trying the Google
Toolbar first to see if you like it. It's free and has some other
nifty features too.

1) Download the Google Toolbar:
"Eliminate pop-up ads"

2) Prevent Pop-up Ad Windows When Browsing with Internet Explorer:
"A more general approach to prevent most pop-up windows from opening
on your computer is to disable Active Scripting in Internet Explorer."
