Answer number 1:get a decent browser
I use Netscape and mozilla they have an integrated popup killer that works so well
I've almost forgotten what they look like
It can be set to block all unapproved popups or to allow any that you don’t blacklist
Best of all its free
As for number 2 it depends how they are coming through
If they're coming from the page you're visiting it's perfectly legal and a necessary
evil in some cases
But that doesn’t excuse the pages that open a popup when exiting then another one
when you exit that one…
But if it's from a piece of spyware you may or may not have grounds to sue
It all depends on whether it gave you a "we are installing this/do you want to install"
statement before it installed
