I use Ad-Aware to remove spyware.

I use No-ads to block pop-ups.

There are a lot of such programs now.

Do a google/yahoo search on pop up blockers.

Norton Internet Security 6.0 and 6.02 has an ant-spam component built in.  Current detection rates are over 90% w/ less then 1% false positives.

I use:

ad-aware for Spyware: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/index.html

Ad Muncher for pop-ups and Ad banners: http://www.admuncher.com

MailWasher for E-mail: http://www.mailwasher.net

Of a special note......I have tried a "bunch" of Ad/Popup removers and Ad Muncher is the clear winner.  Small download, easy configure, easy enable/disable, small "footprint" and it works with everything IE, netscape, Opera, and others.

Here's some other sites of intrest:
