    Information about JS.Noclose
    Last Updated on: July 8, 2002 12:04:06 PM PDT

    While JS.Noclose may be annoying, it is not malicious. It is code that is used by a Web site to create hidden windows for the purpose of displaying advertisements and banner ads. Closing these windows can be difficult, because when you close one, the window that is "hidden" behind it is displayed.

    There is no malicious payload involved in this type of code and as such, your system is not endangered. For this reason Symantec does not detect such scripts as viral.

    You might want to run a spyware removal program like the free Ad-aware which will remove lots of stuff similar to this one and maybe it as well.
