For most people this isn't really an answer. Many web pages won't work as intended or won't work at all but turning off JavaScript improves security signifcantly and stops pop ups/unders too. I frequently browse with scripting off when doing random surfing and enable when I want to see something where it is needed. Most of the browser security exploits are stopped cold with Scripting and Java off.
More practically, I find Norton NIS does a good job stopping ad pop up/unders when using IE on Windows. When using Linux or Solaris I use Mozilla and the built in controls do a good job. Sorry but no idea what tool setting might prevent it in XP/IE unless they were talking about turning off the scripting support.
