Pop-Up Stopper
http://www.panicware.com/product_dpps.html ($$)
The free version claims to save bandwidth by blocking unwanted windows,
particularly those annoying "pop-unders" that load under the page you're
viewing (Yahoo!, we're talking about you). You can upgrade to a Pro version
that comes with an Internet Explorer toolbar and gives you more say over
what is blocked.

WebWasher http://www.webwasher.com/en/products/wwash/download.htm (Free)

An alternative generally favoured by Mac and Linux users, this one isn't
recommended for Windows XP users. It's very popular, having been downloaded
almost 3 million times.

Proxomitron http://proxomitron.org (Free)
A wide-ranging free program that blocks everything from pop-up ads to
animated Gifs. It also helps to prevent sites recording where you have come
from. Its creator's motto: "Don't be slave to some webmaster's whims." More
for advanced users.

visit http://www.fedespil.dk/download/download.php?id=50 and click on
download when you get there, spybot search and destroy is the best program
for removing spyware.
Naviscope stops those popups at the source, you may want to do a search for
that too, it's a very small program that you can download and install in no
time
