They're often pop up ads meant to scare you into clicking on something that may (or may not) put something on your computer. If you return to the site where it popped up the first time, it will probably pop up again. Using a pop up blocker like UBlock is helpful.</p><p><br /></p><p>My mother told me one day about having one pop up on her computer.
