Junkbusters (http://www.junkbusters.org/) has links to the Direct Mail
Marketing Association's opt-out list. That site also has scripts you
can use for getting off telephone solicication lists. It took a couple
of years, but saying "Please put me on your Do Not Call List" to
every telemarketer has resulted in us getting maybe one call a month.
The peace is delicious.

Junkbusters also has some popup and banner ad filter scripts.
