Since installing WebWasher free for home and educational use) some years ago, pop-ups (pop-unders, self-replicating windows....etc.) _do_not_exist. Ads and other bothersome crud are all _greatly_ diminished, or eliminated, surfing is faster, with less tracking info leaked (control over web-bugs, scripts, animations, referrers, cookies, prefixes...). It is configurable (not as much as Proxomitron, another great, free, program, but much simpler), and updates are issued. You did not mention what your primary browser is, but it probably is not NetScape 7.1, since it comes free from the factory with PopUp controls that allow site-specific permission (as well as Tabbed Browsing, which once you've tried, there's no turning back).

There are also some excellent suggestions above to get and run Ad-Aware and SpyBot S&D, as well as Spyware Blaster, to clean up and help "inoculate" your machine.
