Why each option
Internet Explorer includes a built-in Pop-up Blocker that specifically prevents unsolicited advertisement windows from opening without user initiation.
The Phishing Filter identifies and warns about fraudulent websites designed to steal credentials, not unsolicited pop-up advertisement windows.
The Pop-up Blocker in Internet Explorer detects and suppresses browser windows that open automatically without user action, directly targeting unwanted advertisements and spontaneous pop-up windows. It can be configured to allow or block pop-ups on a per-site basis via the Tools menu under Internet Options.
Content Advisor controls website access based on content rating categories, not the blocking of spontaneously appearing advertisement windows.
Cookies are small data files stored on a user's computer by websites to track sessions and preferences, and have no capability to block pop-up windows.
