I don't know abot best, but the one in SP2 works pretty well, and it's free.

If you can't install SP2, the Google Toolbar isn't bad.

XP SP2's IE does a good job. And so does the Google Toolbar. Between
the two of them and the one bundled in my firewall, I never get a popup.

SP2's blocker works very well and it's free. The add blocker bundled with
Nortons Internet Security works well and I use it at home
..
Look at this site and choose from 150 or so:

I like the features of "window shades" (also free) that I use on a XP Pro
SP1 machine:

Very little, and well worth the small amount of space it takes.

The one in XP SP2 works fine.
I have also used the ones included with the Google toolbar, MSN toolbar and
Yahoo toolbar on various machines.
All of them work.

Not much. And the quick access to Google searches is well worth it.

Not to mention things like auto form filling and when you search it has
buttons of your search terms that when you click them they highlight the
search term on the page. It is also very customizable.
