POW works very well for us, but as you say, you have to tell it which 
windows to kill. We have the kill list file kept on a server and all of 
our machines access the same file. Staff have the ability to add to 
the list, while the public does not, but all share it. It doesn't get rid of 
all popups by any means, but you only have to be bothered by them 
once.  What we need now is a POW users group to share kill lists 
with one another!
