First off, welcome to the community.
Secondly, I should mention that the NITs are great devices but that their magic only reveals itself after the user gets at least a little bit into the linux that's under the hood.

I personally use the hosts file method and it works well enough for me that Salon.com is the only popup I've seen for a while now, though rarely a contentless window opens, I think it may be netflix.
Here's a thread that gives some instruction on it:

See post number 10, specifically. You'll need a way of getting root privilege in order to modify this file, look that up in the wiki. Once you've gotten root, do the code in post #10.
