When I visit a website the site won't close. THe best I
can do is minimize it...but all this does is place it at
the bottom. How do I solve this problem?
 
Alfie;

Ctrl + W should close it.

It is known as Scumware. Visit these sites. 1, 2, 3 and 4 are really good.
Download, install, run, update and run again; one or all. They are all
good, FREE utilities.
The first site gives some recommendations.
