I'm curious. How do you all respond to a fake virus warning (a pop-up window that says your PC is infected) when browsing the web?
Most of the popup windows are blocked by the "Block popup" feature of
IE7.
Anyway, if i see such a popop window, usually i close it by pressing the X on
the title bar, or pressing Alt-F4, or choosing Close in the popup menu
i open by right clicking the title bar.
Correct your decision to use task manager, but you've to find the window
you wanna close!
Sometimes I also wonder why malicious sites even bother asking us if we want it or not. Why don't they just install it silently?
That's a good question :)
Is this because of restrictions in one of IE settings (can't install without asking)? Anyone?
I don't think so, as the popup window is not a real confirmation message
but only a simple window.
