I use webwasher, just do a google or ask.com search for it, but then on the other hand my computer is fucked by cws at the moment, although I didn't have webwasher dl'd when I got it... I'll stop, before I confuse you more.

Or use a better browser than Internet Exploder, I suggest Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox, or Opera for PC, and Safari for Mac... All of which block popups by default and tend to load pages faster.

True dat! I have a Mac for my personal computer, so pop-ups are not a problem with Safari's built in pop-up blocker. For my home computer, I use IE, but I also use endpopups.com, which seems to work well.
I just wanted to know what the general concensus is for great pop-up blockers since a guy at work was asking me about it the other day.

Service pack 2 for windows xp kicks ass with the popus. Haven't had one since I installed it.

As mentioned by Big Nick, popup blocking is now part of IE on XP with SP2 installed.
Short of that, I find the Google toolbar extremely useful, so the inclusion of popup blocking in that is just icing on the cake.

I use Firefox, so I don't get any popups at all.

The Google toolbar has a decent pop-up blocker. I'm using it right now.

What do you mean "IR" popups?
If you mean Messenger (*NOT* MSN Messenger, just messages with "OK" buttons) because you are connected directly to the net without a firewall, reformat your computer, get a firewall, reinstall.
