Was she on a website when the pop-up appeared? If so, then she should have just clicked it closed and left the website.

sometimes, that's not so easy to do. . . many of these shareware sites open hundreds of identical Windows. . . and when you close one it appears as if nothing happened. I saw one of these on my own computer several years ago. Very frustrating until i figured out what was going on. Force quit the browser.

One old trick is to put an "on close" event in the window so that closing it simply opens a new copy of it.
