I use Lavasoft's Adaware from [url "http://www.lavasoft.de"]www.lavasoft.de[/url]. It works great for me. I also use the google toolbar. It blocks 95% of all popups. I'm very pleased with it.
The only drawback to adaware is that you have to manually scan your computer every so often. To get it to automatically block the stuff from the get go you have to buy the full version, although it is pretty cheap.
I'd advise everyone to get this and install and use it even if you aren't seeing problems, because you might have spyware already installed without knowing it, and some are malicious enough to log keystrokes and can get your passwords and account info if you shop online.
