The firewall built into my Linksys router stops them pretty well. It is funny though - I get a whole bunch of traffic at my router even when all 5 comps in the house are off (yes I know - I have a problem). I had to connect my main computer directly to my cable modem for a day and I was KILLED by these popups.
The thing is that they are using my bandwidth sending all that crap at my connection whether I like it or not. I pay for my connection and despite the fact that I don't pay by the byte, I still feel like these spammers/ popup assholes are stealing from my. I want my whole pipe any time I want to use it. I mean there is a lot of smut out there and only so much time....
I wish I knew how to stop it entirely.
