If anyone has to close a fake anti-virus scanning window, the best way to do this is from the taskbar (bottom toolbar in windows) and right click on the link in the bottom toolbar and choose close, or you can possibly close the malware in task manager. Most of the time, just clicking on the "X" on the pop-up window will trigger the malware app.

Also for others having this problem, make sure your operating system and browser software are up to date, as well as your Anti-Virus Software, Adobe Flash player, and java (if you have it installed). Most of the time, malware tries to exploit weaknesses in outdated software.
