I use Google toolbar for popups,Spybot search and destroy resident,you have to turn on the "advanced mode" for this.Then run Adaware every couple of days or once a week, my system stays reasonably clean.You can set up Adaware to run at startup if you have the time/patience.Also using a good registry cleaner will help I recomend TweakNow RegCleaner it might keep some of this stuff from comming back it'll definitely keep a bunch of junk registry entries from slowing down your system.It's an ongoing battle but it's manageable if you stay on top of it.Somebody will chime in any second now with buy a Mac or install Linux but it's only a matter of time before spyware/malware begins to target these OSs as well.

You should try Maxthon, SlimBrowser, or AvantBrowser. They use the IE browser engine but have tabbed browsing and popup blocking.
