If you are getting the pop ups then you are infected. Use my free Remove-it software, it will remove that malware from your system. Download it here http://pcbutts1.com/downloads/tools/tools.htm

I just close the web site.
That might work too - right click the pop-up on the task bar and click Close. The problem with close option is that it sometimes loads another pop-up window. That's why I choose end task.
And if there is a window open after that, then I use the simple x in the upper right corner.
The X button can be part of the pop up image. Inexperienced users can't tell the difference. Also, if we're not paying attention, we may accidentally click that X image instead of the actual X button.
