I have been blocking popups by setting IE to prompt me if I want to
run scripts. It's a liitle bit of a pain to have to click yes or no
every time a page loads but it sure stops the popups and any other
unwated scripting. I also block ActiveX and all scripting. The
settings are right there. It's the same for cookies. Those settings
block a lot of adware too. I know what you're saying, but then I
can't view some web pages. If I really want to see them, I'll click
yes when I get the prompt and wait for the popup.
