Anyone Else Getting Malware Pop-Ups (possibly) from CNN???

In My Humble Opinion
1

In the past week I’ve started to get pop-ups that create a new tab on my chrome browser window.
The pop-up window (details to follow) always creates to the right of the CNN tab in Chrome, so I know its coming from there.

The new window says my PC has been blocked, and I have to call some number “At Microsoft” :rolleyes: ) to get it unblocked.
I always manage to close the window (though its a pain). I finally took a screen shot of it before I got rid of it. Here’s the data:

Sure, I know it’s Bull Shit, but I’m really surprised that its spawning off of the CNN window somehow.
Is anyone else seeing this?

I was getting it a week or so ago, always in Chrome, always the same website (not CNN). Ran a Malwarebytes scan which found and killed it.

Tried that; the scan said nothing found. I’l see if it comes up again.
