I normally have Nortan Firewall and Norton Anitvirus installed along with Zone Alarm, SB S&D, and Ad-Aware. I use Fire Fox to avoid pop-ups [which seems to work for me] and Nortan Firewall as an additional barrier against pop-ups in case FF fails.

All seems to work for me and I have yet to see a single pop-up offering me Viagra. Roll Eyes

You could add the domain to your restricted sites list in ie, thus ending the problem. I have added all the ad sites I can find to my block list, both browser and firewall, I dont have to worry about those stupid ads anymore.

Have you heard of hosts? (Or something like it) Anyway, there is a part of windows that you can edit, and it will block out specific I.Ps or web adresses. I use it, never get a popup.

Go here for more information:

You can just edit the file in notepad to put your own entries.

Hope this helps
