From: "Glenn Meadows" 

Isn't a better option to close the box, clicking the X in the upper corner
of the window, and NOT the CLOSE or CANCEL button presented in the actual
popup window?  I've personally never had my home page changed using this
method to close popups that sneak by.  I'm using Maxthon as my browser, as
Crazy was letting way too many popups through.  Maxthon has more easily
accessable control over various items, as well, IMO.
