I keep my cursor on the x if it even tries to load another tab, I smack it down first. These Microsoft fakes have become shear torture. I can find nothing to block it.I cannot to seem to word it properly, I would love to build a filter but uses to many different urls and names.

Sometimes I have to hold the escape (ESC) button so that I can close the window. But what ever I do I try never to press any link located in those dab nabbit pop-ups.

@PureVodka🍺 Thank you for posting this!! Can't tell you how many times this has happened to me. I think this would be useful for new users who may not come back bc they think they will get a virus. <br> THANKS AGAIN
@PureVodka🍺 Some of the hijackers lock down the whole screen so try either: <br> <br> 1. Hold Alt & press Tab - tab it until the option for desktop is selected then release... then follow PV's instruction on opening task manager. <br> <br> or <br> <br> 2.the trusty old ctrl-alt-delete can get you to the task manager.
