Hello Kathy,First, welcome to the list. My name is Shen. I hope you find this list enjoyable and informative. I can assure you that websites have no way of grabbing your computer and not let go. I believe what might be happening is that you may have stumbled upon a site that opens pop-ups. These are windows, on top of the original one, that opens automatically. You simply just have to press alt-F4 several more times and eventually you would be able to close all of them.Let me know if this helps. *** Original Message: Hello to you all, My name is Kathy and I am new to your list group.I am beginning to explore the Internet and I find it very intimidating, to say the least.Last night I got into a website and could not get out. Each time I tried to ALT plus F4 to exit it "clunked" at me.What does this mean? What is happening ? How is it that a "site" can grab onto you and not let go?Please advise. Thank you.
