I'm sure you've seen the countless fraudulent popup "killers" out there. To be honest, most of them are complete bullsnot. One very amazing company though, has a killer popup killer (so to speak).
Check it out. POW popup killer from AnalogX. It might be exactly what you're looking for.

How to ask a good question -
sounds like your search tool should be a higher priority in this particular instance:?:
On that note; Google - there is no substitute for general web searching.
In regards to your question, as you are looking for a resource-friendly utility, start with Analog X's POW!
Analog X is known for his clean code and great working utilities.
There are a lot of utilities that block pop-ups, but this is a great place to start, if for some reason you don't like this one; try Google, you'll find plenty more utilities there.
EDIT; well done Raven! beat me to the post big-time:DThe reason a diamond shines so brightly is because it has many facets which reflect light.Comment

Just to add to this discussion I think PopupCop does a great job - I haven't seen a popup since I installed it. But it also does more - it also blocks animations, scripts, flash ads, etc. etc. Very customizable and seems to be 100% effective. Give it a try.Comment

As a side note, if anyone sees ANY popups on TweakTown, please take a screenshot and email to [email protected]

I use Mozilla for browsing mainly for its built in pop-up killer..
Seriously though you can make your own pop-up killer just edit the hosts file on your box and point any servers that produce popup ads to 127.0.0.1 as long as you aren't running a webserver on your PC it works..
several sites have a good database list to kill pop-ups. including kazaalite.tkComment
