A good advice I once heard was to close pop-ups by the X at the top right corner and not the "yes" or the "no" choice because a malevolent pop-up can be programmed to install as soon as you click whatever choice given.

The best method to stop drive-by installs is to do a CTRL-ALT-DEL and start the Task Manager. Then go to the Applications tab, highlight whatever is running, then click the End Task button.
You should also then go to Tools on the Internet Explorer (End Task may have shut down all open Explorer windows, which is fine - just go back into Internet Explorer) amd delete all cookies.
