Pop-up protection

You know how you're surfing through websites and you get pop-up windows? Then you have to spend time clicking on those windows to close them. There's a problem (besides the obvious annoyance factor of pop-up windows): some of those windows can activate viruses or Trojan Horses.

Here's a cool trick: instead of clicking on a window to close it, use ALT-F4. Hold down the ALT key and press the F4 key. That closes the active window. Voila! You're back to surfing.
