How do you activate it? I've got the google pop up blocker, but it doesn't seem to have much affect.

Run a spyware scan on your PC.

I run firefox and i very very rarely get a notification to say a popup has been blocked.

Yip if you're still getting popups you are 100% infected, stop going on dodgy porn sites is good advice.
