Install the google toolbar - do a search on google for it. This has a pop up blocker, that you can switch on and off. Remember that some badly designed sites use pop up, so if a site stops working when you click on something, remember to try it with the pop up blocker toggled off....

Ad-Aware, do a Google-search for it...

Or download SpyBot Search'n'Destroy from http://download.com.

Just so you know, PassionFord does not have a SINGLE popup, so if you get some while on PF, it's because of your PC, not because of PF

Also, if you only get pop-ups while browsing websites, then have a look at using a different browser......something like Opera, which has a built-in pop-up blocker, which you can configure to allow requested pop-up windows (ie. clicking on a link which opens in a new window will work, browsing to a website which has hundreds of pop-ups will display the page but block the pop-ups).
