It is probably ad/malware. Download and run Malwarebytes. It may not tell you that it found something, or offer to remove any ad/malware, but I have personally found these types of messages to stop after using Malwarebytes.


I have no business or financial relationship with Malwarebytes, nor is it an anti-virus tool which I would not recommend if it was.
