I got no pop-ups or pop-unders on either the website mentioned in your summary
or the URL you specified.  It's possible that the pop-up was caused by the
spyware on your system and not by the website you were visiting.

After clicking around for a while (on the given URL) i got a pupup,
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050522 Firefox/1.0+

It wasn't spyware, just some ad, and not from use.com. Couldn't get a second one.

You can add sites which consistently open popups to bug 253831, but only after
testing them using a Firefox nightly build and a clean profile.

WFM, I had to click around for a bit, I got a popup blocked message after
awhile, but I never had any popups or popunders appear.  I am going to mark this
WFM.  If you can reproduce this in a recent nightly with a clean profile, then
you can do as Devin suggested and add it to bug 253831.

Received another pop-up from this Website tonight from InterClick.com

Per Ad-Aware, SpyBot, SpySubtractBasic, and SpywareBlaster: I am clean.

How can you deem this problem, resolved?

Was this on a clean profile with a recent nightly?  I was unable to get the
popup on a nightly, and am still unable to get the popup with 0525.  The popup
blocker is constantly evolving, so while you may be getting the popup on the
milestone, it may also be already fixed to be blocked in the trunk.

Reopen if you get one on a trunk nightly with a clean profile.
