What's the best popup killer?

I'm using meaya popupadkiller right now but it seems to let some popups come through. Is there any popup that kills 'em all? And if possible one where i can make an exception list? Thanks.

In XP is it better to set ACPI to On or use Standard PC?

I use WebBlinds fron Stardock that has the ability to stop all pop-ups and displays a red IE icon for each pop-up, very useful !
WebBlinds comes with ObjectDesktop suite, but could possibly be ordered separately...
Hope this helps you also !

Norton Internet Security 2002 is the best hands down.

In case anyone's interested both the latest Opera and the latest Mozilla browsers have options to disable pop-ups.

I'm actually quite impressed with the latest Mozilla build and it's now my default browser instead of IE6.

I know about opera and mozilla, but they seem to have problems with javascript. For example: www.iexbeta.com, on the top the menu's don't open. The same happens on www.sygate.com and lots of other sites (if not all)

Opera 6.0 opens http://www.sygate.com/ without difficulty and just the same result under IE 6 (java/script installed for Opera).
Opera and Mozilla are good for pop-up ! Under IE, as I said, I use WebBlinds and it's ok !
