Why each option
A pop-up blocker is the specific tool designed to detect and prevent unwanted browser windows from opening automatically.
Antivirus software detects and removes malicious code and executables but is not specifically designed to block browser pop-up windows.
Pop-up blockers are browser-level or software-level tools that detect and suppress automatically opening browser windows, directly addressing the symptom of random browser windows appearing on the user's machine. Most modern browsers include built-in pop-up blocking, and standalone utilities also exist for this purpose.
A spyware blocker targets software that secretly collects user information; while some pop-ups may be adware-related, a spyware blocker is not the primary tool for stopping pop-up windows.
Anti-spam software filters unwanted email messages and is not related to blocking browser windows.
