Right, Bill, those fundamental pieces, Kerio, AVG, WinPatrol and Spybot don't specifically addresses popups. However the Kerio FAQ at Blarp.com offers suggestions for stopping popups before they need detection. You need to understand where they come from but the rule helps.

I'm not sufficiently annoyed by popups to need anything beyond what the Google toolbar provides but, should popups become a problem for me, I'll definately be trying Proxomitron. I tend not to visit sites that are often plagued by popups, only because I usually have no interest in the content on those sites.
