If you want to close a popup window use the x in the top corner rather than the Delete or Cancel or No button, malware can be embedded to run when you click on those buttons as well.
3. Don’t provide your social security number or any other personal or banking information as a response to an email from a bank, someone overseas, or anyone that contacts you rather than you contacting them.
