Well, google's popup blocker works good for me. I get very, very few popups using it. Of course you need to run anti spyware/virus software but that's more a windows issue than browser. I don't use windows at home but I haven't had anyone report to me that the combination of the blocker, firewall, and antivirus software has let them down.

Hi Jason,
                    It may not be hard for you to "avoid popups,
trojans, and the like" , but it is for me and it would appear
most of the rest of the world, based on the nightly news,
when we TRY to run IE.  More time is spent rebooting
and avoiding mayhem than actually using IE.

But in my experience with friends and family tell me the same thing about IE, a simple popup blocker(e.g. google's) does the trick. I do prefer opera(free and adfree now), mozilla, or firefox to IE but it's not hard at all to use IE and avoid popups, trojans, and the like.
