Doug,

Sometimes, Pop-ups blockers may not be effective in dealing with adware =
pop-ups. First, clean the system using these tools and carry-on with the =
same Pop-up blocker which you use now (or try Google Toolbar)

Download all of these utilities and scan the system.

Note: Spyware removers are rules-based and are updated very frequently =
as and when new malware is discovered. Therefore, update both of these =
tools before scanning, very important.

I use Google Toolbar and it works nicely as a popup blocker, among
other things it does. And it is free.
