pop up stopper...
pop up killer
look up pop ups at zdnet.com and there should be a lot of freeware...

Problem with that is that it also blocks intentional pop-ups, which can be a bitch.

I think there may be a better one than the one I linked to where you are able to configure what pop ups are allowed...

Have you tried ad-aware? It might get rid of any adware that might be highlighting and linking specific texts...

Yeah google toolbar is fucking awesome. I've had it for less than a month and its blocked 497 so far. Anyways, if there are ever any sites that have non-ad related popups, just hold "ctrl" and it'll show.
Big thumbs up for the people at Google, they transferred the greatness of their search engine into a classy-ass pop-up blocker/toolbar.
