I'm not an expert in this field but AFAIK there are two reasons why visitors to your site wd get pop-ups - (A) because you put javascript in your own pages to create them and (B) because your web host sends them. Presumably we can rule out (A). If you are linking to pages you don't control and want to destroy pop-ups from them, you *could* replace the link with a link to a script that would use LWP::Simple or some such to get the text of the chosen page, then a regex (or perhaps HTML::Tagfilter) to delete any offending javascript, and then send the surviving text to the browser. But that would be a bit of a schlep, and you'd also have to take care that any links in the page were (or became) absolute links. And that probably isn't your problem anyway. Presumably your problem is (B), in which case there is a

SIMPLE SOLUTION

Namely, get a different internet service provider. There are lots of people who will give you free webspace without junking it up with pop-ups and other nonsense. In fact there is probably an inverse correlation between junk and quality of package offered. Two in the UK that do this well are http://www.uklinux.net and http://www.dsvr.co.uk.
