ok this all happens to us at one time or another. i clicked on a site which ends up being a bad site but when you go back, enter new site, close out, ctrl alt delete and infinite loop confirm popup shows up asking if i'm sure i want to leave.
now i've done this before but i forgot what prompt to hit to kill the looping popup and enable me to leave that site

please help!
 
You mean Ctrl-alt-del and end task on your broswer? You should just be able to close the broswer normally to get away from the site.

no that doesn't work
i'm the kind of person who runs 6 or more windows at a givin time so i don't want to shut all of them down

but anyways theres a trick one can use to to get by it and i've done it before but i forgot how..... it like only 2 or 3 buttons you gotta hit to do so

right now i got out of it by shutting of the internet then clicking ok (so it couldn't download/upload anything

but for future reference does know what it is offhand?

Should also get Lavasoft's Ad-Aware. Works like I champ. I have it paired with AVG 2011 and Malwarebytes.

Ad-aware is old and outdated for todays standards of malware protection. Malwarebytes and Superantispyware provide better detection rates then Ad-aware.
