Default pop-up blocker

I noticed yesterday that my machine at work (which I recently updated to
SP2) has a built in pop-up blocker in IE.

Is this something that came with SP2?

My machine at home is Win98SE and I use Panicware's pop-up blocker and the
Google toolbar pop-up blocker, but will remove them from my office machine
if the MS pop-up blocker is useful

Yes, IE6 in Windows XP SP2 contains a in-built Pop-up blocker.
