Anyone know of a free downloadable ad blocker?

Hi, does anyone know on here where i can download a good ad blocker? It has to

  • block pop ups

If anyone has any good recommendations let me know by posting replies.

Provided you're on a single computer, the following is quite effective against banners and can be used (I think) in conjunction with a popup blocker.
