When the browser starts, it will ask if you want
to "restore last session". You do not! If you restore
the last session, you'll get that scareware again.
So you don't want the last session, and you do want
to clean the cache.

Just don't "restore last session", OK ? :-)

Firefox, at least (at least I assume it still does in the latest version
- I use an old one), when presenting the "restore" option (which I think
it does after two crashes), presents a ticklist of all the tabs you had
open (initially pre-ticked); if you _know_ which one had the malware,
you could try just unticking that one.

Not that clearing the data probably isn't a good idea - but the above
may let you save all the other tabs, if you want to. (I think the "save
all tabs" function I have might be a function of the Tab Mix Plus
add-on; I occasionally use it - usually using a bookmark folder with
today's date - usually after I think I've recovered from something.)
