I of course clicked cancel and then it tried to take me to the site anyway and i stopped it. Ive seen it before in IE so i know how to avoid it, but a lot of ppl dont and it is very nasty. |
Don't click cancel on those things. Computers don't know that the button says 'cancel', well they no that, but they don't understand what that represents to humans. Cancel is still registered as a click. On pop-ups like that always hit ALT + F4, or Apple + Q, or whatever.
Hell, on some adverts it can even trigger something when the page closes, so closing the window wouldn't
really help there.
