I have had this happen to me on 6 different times where i was on different websites reading articles the this would pop up...... See attachment. This was the last one i got and i have 5 more that were stopped by my webroot and blocked it. All 6 of these did not have Mozilla http:// designation so i did nothing but close them out when it was asked to update the patch.
