That is a link to the malwarebytes.org site:

Do you have a malware problem?

If using malware scanners does not fix it or if you are blocked from installing those scanners then ask advice on one of the forums that specialize in malware removal mentioned in the Popups_not_blocked article.

If malware is preventing you to download files to the computer then you need to do that on another computer and transfer the files to your computer via a USB stick or via other means or looks for the files on other sites like www.filehippo.com.

There are also online scanners.
