May I suggest a shareware program called Ad Muncher? You have to pay a bit for it, but it eliminates virtually all banner ads and popups. I have never had any problems with Drudge.

On the other hand, another cause of popups at the Drudge site may be spyware that you have contracted earlier from some other site.

A while back I went through all of Drudge's ads and added the URL's to my hosts file. Very little problem anymore.

Ever get that funny feeling of deja vu?

This is even better, it stops almost all ads from popping up on any page.

Mike's Ad Blocking Hosts file

After you install the host file your spyware program will only come up with a few entries.
