Hey Jeff,
As Jim Harrison says, you can create a site and content rule to refuse a
known popup url, but you will still "get a popup with an ISA refusal
message" .
I would like to add that it is possible to add a site and content rule that
Redirects to an internal site ("redirect to this URL" option in site &
content rules) that has its own script code to close the browser window.
Why not create a 'refusal' set and a 'popup' set with different internal
redirections that log the results?  That way, you can continually audit
successful destination sets from erronous redirections.
