I was on a web-site this morning when a pop-up said that "your computer may be running slow, due to infections, click yes to have it scanned now"...or words to that effect, I clicked "no", it went to the site where I could click on "scan now", I went back to the previous page, then forward again, it popped up again, I clicked the top right corner, it didn't go, but connected me with the site again.
I even clicked "yes" thinking I would be given the choice to decline [silly me!]
In the end, I had to abandon the original web-site I was on,& was unable to perform the action I intended, is ths "legal" inasmuch that there is no way to avoid it, it looks genuine, blue border, the usual warning red "X", clearly labelled "advertisment" in the bottom right corner.
