I use google Toolbar smile.gif you can find it here
Google Toolbar is a nice toolbar for either IE or Firefox (not sure about other browsers myself) that will prevent pop-ups and give you some other utilities.
What would be your real question about the toolbar?

Olrik

Thanks Olrik, Here is my real question. Directly under the address bar there is another bar that has a Google search & the popup blocker, Google earth etc. As you know everytime I do a google search it stores it in that search box. Is there anyway to permanently delete those stored files? thanks.

Using this tool you should be able to remove it smile.gif

EDIT: If this fails, please awnser this question: Which Browser are you using?
If this won't work I have another method of getting rid of them.
