My wife just received the attached alert via Safari. It sounds like a scam to me, but she like to worry. Any comments or suggestions? Attached is a screen capture of what she saw. I simply closed the window.

This scammer (or scammers) should be fed alive piece by piece to starving, syphilitic rats.

Check your desktop or download folder for a "anti-malware.zip" file and trash it.
As CMCSK says; check for a download. Interacting with the window initiates it. In future, quit the browser (force quit if necessary) to get rid of it.
Security Scam?
