You can Ctrl-Alt-Delete, and kill the browser's task(s). I suppose it would be
fairly easy to write a "reset" program to kill all instances of IE (or
whatever), and then restart the desktop.

It amazes me that these sites think they're going to make more money by being
so annoying. Or is their goal to be annoying?
