That makes sense since no popups or popunder windows appeared when I visited that site and I'm using Filterset.G with Adblock Plus.

And NoScript blocked it before AdBlock Plus (with Filterset.G) could even register it for blocking.

This page gives you a handy tool to manage this file--sometimes, you actually want to let those junk sites that you are going somewhere--it lets you easily turn on and off the hosts file:

Yep the HOSTS file from above rocks, no need for Adblock. The offending link in the OP www.clicksor.com was blocked from my HOSTS file hence no popup/under.

Haven't used Adblock in quite a while, I find using a HOSTS file along with NoScript blocks pretty much everything that would be annoyng.
