Have a certain website that you like to visit? When you go to it about 15 pop-up ads cover the screen. Here are the best ways to get rid of pop-up windows:
1. The Escape Key - When the pop up windows just keep coming, pounding on the Escape key repeatedly will stop the madness.
How does it work? When you hit the Escape key, it's the same as hitting the Stop button in your browser. So, the little buggers stop loading and you can close them.
2. ALT+F4 - This is another good way to get rid of pop-ups. ALT+F4 closes the current window, effectively stopping the pop-up process in its digital tracks.
3. CTRL+W - If you don't like ALT+F4 (it's kind of a stretch for small hands) then try CTRL-W. This closes things down, too.
With ALT-F4 and CTRL+W it might close windows that you don’t want to. Have to be more careful.
Finally, there are programs out there - pop-up killers - that you may be interested in. They are designed to stop these pop-up windows. The one that I found out that works the best is the Google Toolbar. Which can be found here: http://toolbar.google.com/ .
