Ok, I'm using IE 6.0, here's what you do.
Go to Tools on your menu, then Internet Options, then click the Privacy tab. Under Settings you will find a slide bar that governs how your browser controls cookies, move it up to the fourth position from the bottom or higher when you get pop ups. This should stop them, if not move it higher! Keep in mind that some of the sites will require you to allow cookies to be able to use their site, no problem. While using those sites move it back down to the next to the bottom position. This is easy to do and you don't have to run ad blockers to get rid of pop ups. Let me know if you have any problems.
