First of all, stop believing everything MicroSoft says... Computers do not crash simply because they're inherently unreliable or someone's done something bad to you. Your machine crashed because you are running an inferior toy "operating system" that was thrown together by a bunch of high school and college student flunkies that couldn't write a simple example of a B-Star Tree traversal algorithm or a simple command tokenizer if you threatened to cut their gonads off and feed it to them as an alternative.

Now that we've gotten that out of the way...

The way you go about fixing or dealing with these sorts of things is the issue... Remember, your system crashed because of a flaw with it, not because of the web site. Simply put, no one should be able to send you an exception that your system can't handle and/or ignore... period. (As we used to always say, "Never test for a condition that you don't know how to handle.") Again, you probably could have prevented your system from crashing "due to popups" simply by disabling/turning off JavaScript in your browser or by using a content filter of some sort -- either way (or probably a whole slew of others).

It's simply not acceptable to be coming in here, asking how to do something illegal simply because you're pissed off and being rather immature about it. Be more constructive with your anger and, rather than being hostile, come in and say "Well, how do we prevent this from happening in the first place" or "How do we better educate people so as to help people design better products" or probably a few other dozen constructive ideas.

I'll step off my high horse now...

Hopefully, however, this is a bit of a lesson... provided it is, we'll all get along just fine, I imagine. *grin*
