If popups are still plaguing your Internet life, then you might want to check out this program. Described as a popup blocker, I might even take this description a step further sine it also will lock-in your homepage as well. This is handy if a script comes along trying to changing it.

Smart Popup Blocker is an easy to use popup blocker for Internet Explorer, that eliminates almost all popup ads while surfing the web. In addition, it can protect your browser home page from being changed, and can automatically delete unwanted cookies whenever you close Internet Explorer. It also offers an Allow List, to maintain a list of sites that you do not want to block, and the program is smart enough not to close popup windows that were triggered by clicking on a link.
