The best way to avoid popups is to have pop up stopper. One is included when you download the yahoo tool bar. It also features anti spyware if you download that feature. The Yahoo Tool Bar also has tabbed browsing which is great. You can download it for internet explorer. Or the option to download it for firefox. But firefox already has tabbed browsing. You have two options to download the tool bar with or without anti spyware. The next would be to download and install Adaware or Spybot Search & Destory . Which can be found at download.com with alot of free programs. See links below. - sumatrantyger
