Both Mozilla and Mozilla Firefox have a Popup Blocker built in and they do work somewhat quicker then IE. Assuming you don't have one of these browsers installed already I would get one. Since you said you're not real fussy since its your work computer I would get Firefox, small, lean, fast, and has a great Popup Stopper. It also has an estension called adblock that will get rid of all kinds of other ads. Heres a link to installing them:
