I can't beleive clicking X downloads more spyware?

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/I can't beleive clicking X downloads more spyware?

This may be old news but something I just found out and experianced. I was in the blitz showcase and went in to a thread I was interested in. The person has his download hosted on one of them free webspace providers.

Anyway, a popup flashed when i visited the site to download his program. When I clicked X to close the popup it immediately spawned 10 other popups and a confirmation on whether I wanted to download some crap.

So, if you don't know, clicking X isn't always the way to go to get rid of a popup. ALT + F4 should be used instead.

How the hell do they hijack the X(close) button anyway?
