Either before or after you've cleaned up your system, go to 
http://www.kazaalite.com and download the HOSTS file available on their 
site.  It points a lot of known bad and advertising domains to 127.0.0.1 so 
they just show up blank in adspaces and pop-ups.

Opera (now v7.10) is also very good at blocking pop-ups and stopping 
ads.  It can be configured to accept, reject, or force to background pop-up 
windows, and also has a 4th setting which will only allow requested pop-up 
windows.  So any pop-ups that weren't requested by a click get rejected.

Opera also has additional features for managing cookies, alerts for illegal 
cookies, server-specific filters, etc.  And the real killer app in my 
opinion - those groovy sidebars that can be set to any site you choose 
(without an author-provided link as required under Moz).
