Kendall, my favorite popup blocker is in the Google Toolbar. I use the Google Toolbar for lots of things--it also has an excellent spellcheck for any form (like the place at Mudcat where you type in your messages!) Go to http://www.google.com/intl/en/options/ and download the Toolbar (near the bottom of the left column). Once it is in place you can easily customize it. I don't let it fill in forms or do various automatic things. I have it set so I can search images, news, do spell check and use the popup blocker. My g-mail icon is there if I want to get to it via the browser (I also have the G-mail download into Outlook, since I wasn't using Outlook for anything else). And Google maps is on my list of icons. It's a very nice little program.
