Popup Blocker

I used to have an amazing pop up blocker but now.. it doesn't quite do justice..

Does anyone know of a pop up blocker that blocks everything basically and is a free ware?

I use the built in pop up blocker with XP but for Win2K I use PopUp Stopper. Have you tried it?

There's the Google Toolbar and there's Stopzilla.

I've been playing around with Opera 9.2, and it seems pretty efficient at blocking pop ups. When i'm using it I don't get nearly as many pop ups as I do with IE 7.

Firefox 2's ad-block extension might also prove to be useful.
