Like Barry said Alt-F4 is very good and if you don't want to run into this
problem again then turn off javascript. In IE you do this through
Tools/Internet Options.../Security/Internet/Custom Level/ and scroll down
to the bottom till you find "Scripting of Java Applets" and check
Disable. The only problem with this is that you also miss out on the good
uses of JavaScripts. There is also a Pop-up killer program
http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/network/pow.htm which is reported
to be useful in thwarting these windows too, as they are either "onload" or
"onexit" windows. HTH
