    [lf advice] Can you get a Virus from Pop-Up adds?


    Asking for a friend of mine who is very cautious of using the internet (especially regarding certain kinds of websites that tend have alot of pop-up adds) and wants to be sure there is no risk from pop-ups.



    So is it actually possible to get a virus from just a pop-up window/add appearing even if you just simply immediatly close the window?
