Can you point me in the direction of...
I was wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of....
1.) A good, free anti-virus (no firewalls included) - if there is such a thing
2.) A good, free pop-up blocker

Why not change to Firefox? You'll have a popup-blocker inbuilt, much higher browser security, tons of features, extendability and so much more. You can even make it look like IE: http://www.firefoxie.net/ if you're hooked on that look.
If it's for a client of yours: let them try out Firefox with the IE-look and see if they like it.

I prefer not to use FireFox. I like it but some programs I have and use are written for IE. Such as RoboForm, it remembers my passwords and such for all sites (yes I know this is built in to firefox) but it has an autofill function which I really like. And for some reason, my OnClick javascript functions on my website don't work in firefox.
If you have a look at the website I posted, you'll see that things like RoboForm are included, i.e. they integrate with Firefox.scrotaye wrote:I prefer not to use FireFox.

Don't discard things at first glance.

Firefox has a wide range of plugins available... Look around at the range before dismissing it out of hand.
As for your javascript - you can tinker with it until it works correctly (I know - very inconvenient). Problem is that IE has been influential for so long, stuff written for the internet isn't always perfectly standardised. I'm not criticising - design needs to account for IE's popularity - it's just a shame it's so quirky...
For other more general browsing - Firefox will surprise you...

Btw. if your Javascript functions don't work in Firefox, but only in IE, they are buggy. Websites have to work on all major browsers (IE, NS6/7, Mozilla, Firefox, Opera) otherwise they are faulty products.
Imagine a car you can park in only one specific type of garage or driveway. Any other one and the car shuts down before you can park it. Not much good, is it?
Not looking at a problem doesn't make it go away and certainly doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
