David H. Lipman Posted January 14, 2019 ID:1292454 Share Posted January 14, 2019 This isn't malware related. Its an advertisement than leans towards being a scam. This is is type of malicious advertisement ( aka; malvertisement ) and is not caused by software on your PC. It is an artifact of browsing the Internet Today. While you are browsing the internet, you may hit a malvertiser URL ( a URL that almost certainly will redirect one to a malvertisement ) and thus experience this type of scam.

David H. Lipman Posted January 14, 2019 ID:1292462 Share Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) Clear the cache of the browser and look at your browsing habits and what sites you visit that lead to such malvertisements. As a type of advertisement it is not something you have that you can get rid of. Its like driving down a particular road that has lots of billboards that you find are annoying so you drive a different route. Edited January 14, 2019 by David H.
