I strongly recommend AKiller from Source Forge. I found that with other pop-up closing programs, they would close pop-ups that I wanted to open, like my Yahoo address book. With AKiller, you choose the title of the window that you want closed, like Casino Gambling - Microsoft Internet Explorer and it automatically closes it. This way, only the pop-ups that you want closed will close.
It does take a little while to be effective, but I have been using it for over a year now and have built up a large list of pop-ups to close, which I'd be happy to send you by email. (The program can bundle your list as a savable file.)
By the way, this is a very popular question at our computer forums. Read some other users' recommendations by clicking here.
