    Try adding the following domains to your router's "blocked sites" list:

    doubleclick.net
    servedby.com
    hitbox.com
    gator.com
    claria.com


    And just keep adding as you find popups you don't like. Stops them cold.

    You also might try installing Javacool's Spyware Blaster. Downloading the latest updates and enabling all protection will add those 5 sites plus tons more to Internet Explorer's blocked sites list.

    On top of using Firefox,

    Download and install Spybot Search & Destroy, and Lavasoft's Adaware.

    Use them, and use them frequently.
