Disable javascript for those sites.  In fact, disabling javascript as the
default will stop many of them without ad blocking.  You mentioned
filtering cookies, did you enable the popup blocking?

was rumoured to have uttered....

          |  Hi:
          |  
          |  As we're on the subject of popup stoppers I have
          |  Outpost firewall and am continually configuring (as
          |  the cookies appear) so as to block popup ads.  I've
          |  read many posts that others who use Outpost firewall
          |  don't have the problem with popup ads.  I've attempted
          |  to do this but, I still get a popup or two here and
          |  there.  I've added sites to the active content section
          |  and used the option of block popups and I still get
          |  popups (good example being going to the
          |  weatherchannel.com and attempting to block the popups
          |  for lowermybill.com and orbitz.com ads).  Could
          |  someone tell me what else I can do as far as the
          |  firewall configuration that will give me added
          |  protection?  I am using the freeware version of
          |  Outpost.
          |  
          |  Thanks!
