Umm, no it can't. I don't use IE. Some sites use pop-ups for useful purposes, the browser has a hard time distinguishing between legit and non-legit pop-ups. It all comes down to proper coding. Most of the time they can determine between a legit and non-legit one, but they are not 100% accurate. I would say roughly 80%

I use POW! for blocking my pop-ups. It's free and it's totally customizable so you can still get pop-ups you need if neccessary.

The new beta google toolbar blocks popups for IE.

Have it scan your system and remove all of the spy ware, both files and in the registry.

Wow, I cant believe how much that helped me out. Thank you!
