You can do a combination of your suggestions. We will change the IE zones for problem users; so far that's worked OK for us. I'll lock down the internet zone so nothing much will run at all. We use Spybot and Ad-Aware to clean up when needed. You can also use Websense (or maybe another filtering product?) and block access selectively; i.e., allow less restrictive access for a group of users that need to get to those sites. Google toolbar also helps to block popups. For us it's about taking care of most of it so that our one-off work is minimized. It's really hard to prevent it all.
