Any Method to Kill an Individual IE11 Task Without Killing Them All?
I regularly have multiple tab open in the IE11 address bar, and quite often I'm downloading something. Once a week or so I'll get a new tab or a new window telling me that my ISP has detected multiple viruses or spyware on my computer. There is not - I regularly clean it with Malwarebytes, ESET online scanner, JRT and ADWCleaner.
When I get those screens, I do not seem to be able to close the tab or window. And in taskmgr I see the application 'WARNING! YOUR COMPUTER..., etc' using up memory better allocated to downloads. I have found that if I right click on the application, and select end task, it will eventually close all my IE11 windows and tabs, killing any in-process downloads.
I just tried changing taskmgr to display PID, then opened an administrative command prompt and typed tasklist, followed by Taskkill /PID (the PID number) /F. That also killed every IE11 windows and tab, including a download that had already been running for an hour.
Is there any way to end those annoying windows without ending my downloads?
