Anyone know of a free downloadable ad blocker?

Hi, does anyone know on here where i can download a good ad blocker? It has to
  • block banner ads
  • block pop ups

If anyone has any good recommendations let me know by posting replies.

Re: Anyone know of a free downloadable ad blocker?

looks like google wins then but you could have a look at
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firebird/
excellent browser beats ie hands down and blocks all the junk you find when surfing.

Re: Anyone know of a free downloadable ad blocker?

I have Mozilla Firebird it works a treat. But when i go to my website HERE the image of me i shifted over to the left and it should be in the centre. Whrn i go to view the source of the page it says that the image is in the centre. What do i do about this?
