I do not know if other browsers support this, but with Mozilla you can successfully block almost all unwanted pop-up banner ads. I'l quote this from the mozilla faq (http://www.mozilla.org/start/1.0/faq/browser.html#2.4):
"2.4. I've heard about 'popup blocking'. How do I do this? Go to Edit | Preferences | Advanced | Scripts & Windows, and uncheck the powers you do not want to grant to web pages. Unchecking 'Open unrequested windows' blocks most unrequested popups."
