Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to close a pop-Up
Window Not generated by my page. :)

Only if you know it's name, and only if it contains a page from the same domain.

Give the following pieces of code a try, however be aware it is extremely rude to close the user's window without their explicit permission (which is why most decent browsers throw up a confirm dialog asking the user if they really wanted to close the window).

<a href="#" onclick="window.opener=null;parent.close();">Close window.</a>

<object id="closes" style="display: none;" type="application/x-oleobject" classid="clsid:adb880a6-d8ff-11cf-9377-00aa003b7a11">
<param name="Command" value="Close" />
</object>
<a href="#" onclick="closes.Click();">Close window.</a>

This is just a shot in the dark...

I just noticed you are hosted at Geocities, are you trying to close their popup on your site?

If it's a virus, then no, this is not going to work.
