About this question

 The internet has many articles recommending ways to close a browser popup window without infecting your computer with malware. I've seen you click the red X, use ALT-F4, go to the windows taskbar, right click on your browser's icon and close the window, click file-exit in the browser. I believe all of the above recommendations, while easy to perform by the user, can be intercepted with a javascript function call which means performing those recommendations could download malware onto your computer. And the only safe way to close a popup window is through the task manager and killing the browser process. Is that correct or are some of the recommendations mentioned above really safe to perform when closing a popup window?
