There is a program about called 'mailwasher' and a similar one called 'webwasher' (although I have lost links to both of these) which will keep you free of junkmail and other things. For popups, the Google searchbar (available at the google website) claims to be good, although I haven't tried it. For a firewall, Zonealarm and Symantec firewalls are both said to be excellent, although they aren't cheap. You might also want to consider protection from Spyware if you haven't already - Ad-Aware is very good at this, and if you get one of the pay editions, you can have it running constantly like a virus autoprotector. Spybot SD is said to be good aswell.
