I'm surprised more people don't know about alt+F4 closing windows. Back in my IRC days, people used to always try to trick people into pressing it.

I feel your pain though. Once in a while I load up my browser and find my homepage has been changed to some page I would never use. It's been a while for this one, but I used to find new sites added to my favorites folder. It became very frustrating.

I now use the Google toolbar and it works most of the time. Sometimes a popup will slip through, though. Does anyone know if there's a way to stop the ads that show up in the same window covering up the page? I don't know if there's a name for them, but they irritate me.
