Hi,

This could be an ongoing thread as everyone will have there favourites.

I would definately recommend Spyboy.

For startup programs

The rest depends on how indepth you want to get.
We could list Registry Cleaners, System Configurations programs, tweaking programs etc.

For popup one of the best is from panicware.com called popup stopper.
Just remember, all the software in the world will not protect a computer if you do not abide by basic common sense rules.

If you're talking about Popup Stoppers then goto for the Free version.
