Code to Kill Support Scam Web Page

"Critical Alert from Microsoft" virus is a support scam and it can be very frustrating, one can try to close the comment window and then get to the close button but the virus seems to have some fiendish Javascript that prevents keyboard action. The Task Manager isn't very good in these situations, I have often tried to kill the specific Chrome.exe process but frequently all of them are dropped.

Update

Best way to handle to kill chrome is to use from the command line
taskkill.exe /im Chrome.exe /f
It is the /f flag which forces a termination.
