I keep getting an urgent update popup tab with this address: https://iophuzyon.org/5971191731082/1ec05a6df541ebd774aeea6917ba91d9.html

I know this is a scam, how do I block them from continually sending me this popup tab?

hi karen, we suspect that these fraudulent update messages are triggered and spread by advertisement networks through ads on legitimate websites. so one measure to take against this would be using an adblocking extension like https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/
