No, my machine is clean. I am extremely careful. Just scanned my machine again with 2 AV and 100% clean.

This shite came from this page Don't click that link unless you're prepared to deal with malvertising.

hence why I said malvertising, it's probably gone by now

eta:




See the ad in the upper right hand corner? It was an ad in that location that served the malvertising. Wasn't my machine.

6. No warning & no ads here, using uBlock Origin

and custom Hosts file, Win 10, Chrome.

7. that's how to block the crap, for sure

I'm going to use a pop-up blocker from now on. I might use the hosts file too.

8. Highly recommend HostsMan to manage, edit & update the Hosts file...

I use it with MVPs host file, Malware Domains list & some added manually. uBlock with added custom lists.
