Best Answer

Alt+Ctrl+Del -> Processes, right click on the process which you want to close "End Process". P.S. Some programs, viruses are created in a way, when you cannot see it with standard software.

If you mean a web page, Hit the "x" upper right corner, or if you have tabs on your toolbar, select the "x" or if you have a window open along the bottom of your screen, right click & select "close".
