Not sure what operating system you're using, but Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox both have their own popup blockers. The Google Toolbar is decent and has a popup blocker as well as some other useful tools.

There's almost always a way to get around them though with clever coding techniques used by certain web sites.

if you use mozilla firefox, you can use adblock plus, its worked miracles for me. it doesnt only block pop ups but also unwanted adds.

- Adblock plus has no inherent anti-popup capabilities, that is built in to firefox it's self. For a superb web experience, switch to Opera Web Browser (with ad blocking) for one month and you won't look back.

you can try the google or yahoo toolbar, they both have a pop-up blocker and many other features. You can check this article, for more spyware blocker info: http://www.spywareprotectionunleashed.com/Fighting+a+Dangerous+Foe%3A+Spyware+Blockers.18562.htm

- The operating system is "Linux" and the version is "Ubuntu" ... therefore it is "Linux Ububtu" and NOT "Ubuntu Linux" ...

- Are you sure, even the web site, calls it Ubuntu Linux. It's proper English.

- Even news organizations who rely on correct grammar say it's Ubuntu Linux. Ubuntu describes the type of Linux, in English the description (adjective) always comes before the noun (person, place, thing, or idea).

- ... is it Vista Windows ... XP Windows ... etc.?
  .
  Does not the name of the operating system come first, then the name of which of the versions of that operating system it is?

Use Firefox browser. The built-in popup blocker is very good. Blocks almost 95% of the popups.
