Best way around it is Ad-Aware
You can download Ad-Aware here.
Also I use Popupcop to get shot of Pop ups.
You can download a Free 30-day trial for Popupcop Here.

Oh yea as for K.Lite there is a patch around on the net that stops the Pop ups for free!
besides slowing down your net speed like a few KB per second.. i still dont see a reason to go out of your way to get a diff version... who cares if they see what websites you go to? Thats no diff than looking your hard drive
