This program requires some advanced configuration, the interface doesnt look very professional at first sight (however its customizable to some extent), but its extremely thorough and customizable.
It can filter anything you can think of out of a web page. Its customizable and you can create your own advanced filters. It really does too much to list, although some of it is on the excessive side.
The problems are that its not being worked on any longer, and I still should probably look for other web filters that may be better. Also, when a user tries the program out, it may not work exactly the way he wants, and he'll give up before bothering to understand and custom-configure the settings (there several config files to chose from, but even then its hard to find the right one for you). Really though the program is configurable beyond comparison, it can even change headers and cookies. I'm currently looking for a way to deal with gamespy arcade pop-ups.

Second, in regards to Ad-aware and alike programs, Spybot SD is a free and surpassing alternative. It stays up-to-date on its databases. Can be run in advanced mode. It also has an interesting feature of immunizing from some possible future infections. Like preventing you (or your little kids or siblings) from installing more sneaky spyware again.

Google toolbar is pretty good for its quick search, highlighting, and convenience features though, it supposedly stopped 26,000 pop-ups in a few short days. LOL somebody's been visiting too many shady sites
