When you see the Restore or Start New Session, you can remove a
check-mark from any window/tab you don't want restored. Its as simple
as that. Remove the check-mark, and the window won't come back.
Problem solved (for now).
Just to clear up a few things, they are *not* Windows Virus Testers.
They are a carefully crafted attempt to get you to download their
malware to your (supposedly) Windows computer. I actually get a kick
out of them, especially the C: portion of those windows, as they look
like a Windows program running on my Linux system. Too Funny.
We got the PopUp windows problem solved. Now we have to get the "close
that window without running (or opening) something else" problem solved.
