Some websites will repeatedly display pop-ups asking you to install a toolbar or change your home page. When this happens, try closing the browser window. If the pop-ups still appear, right-click the Internet Explorer button in the taskbar at the bottom of your screen, and then click Close Group. As a last resort, close any other programs you have open, and then restart your computer.
