I like ClamAV. Open source, and has been around for a while. I don't have any blocking software installed, but ClamAV does a good job scanning for junk.

Btw, if the bogus popups are happening from inside your browser, they could just be from horrible web sites. If they are popping up when you don't have a browser running .. then you need to look for (and remove) the malware that's running on your machine.
