Hi, I wanted to have a look at this site:
http://www.dreambox-fernbedienung.de.vu/
and as soon as I got there, I was accosted by http://www.joynic.com who
wanted me to register a domain and so on, and it was just impossible to shut
them down - they kept coming back like som indestructible monster from a
horror movie.

WTF can I do to shut them out of my system for ever?

Update your 'HOSTS' file. Then joynic will be history.

Ctrl+Alt+Del, choose your browser (you may have to hunt through the
process for it instead of programs) and shut down the browser. Then
start it back up and see if you still have that problem.

What browser? That's nothing more than a little javascript window. Just
turn off JS. I clicked it closed and didn't see it pop back on. But then I
didn't click on anything else.

Use a real browser. I went to the site in Firefox, the page loaded. I
Control-W'd to close the page, and that was it.
