- - Ugh- all of a sudden popups in firefox! (http://hintsforums.macworld.com/showthread.php?t=35407)

I've found that many of the pop-unders are stopped if you install a flashblock in your browser.

http://flashblock.mozdev.org/

If anyone is using a Camino nightly build from March or later, they can install CamiFlash which does th e same thing as flashblock in Camino.

Flashblock stops the pop-unders that appear when you load a page for some reason. You can see the pop-under blocked by flashblock in the top lefthand corner of a site that has these things.

This does not however block the pop-ups that you get from sites when you click a link.

For those of you that don't use a Mozilla browser (I myself use Safari), I find that PithHelmet solves the pop-under problem.
