Windows 10: Maximus-time.com & Aloha-news.net virus slide out pop ups. What worked & what did not...

A tip about a recent virus encounter, not a question. I had a recent encounter with Maximus-time.com & Aloha-news.net. They generate Frequent slide out pop ups from the lower right corner.

Left click and slide up from taskbar not working.

When I left click, hold and slide up a taskbar short cut like Firefox or Edge there used to be a pop up window thingy that would show some options like opening another browser window or a window in private.

Thanks for any assistance.
