If you are using IE you can always try the google toolbar. it doesn't have any irritating startup splash screens either.

There are several things you can do.

Use a popup stopper, as already mentioned.
Download the Google Toolbar, which has a popup blocker.
Use a different web browser that blocks popups, like Mozilla or Opera.

Crazybrowser

The only way to fly. That's if you're used to IE. Looks like IE, Acts like IE, It is IE. Crazy browser is just a shell, an overlay for IE that adds a pop-up stopper.
Check it out.
Otherwise, I'd use Mozilla.
