Keep getting an urgent download message from this URL, what should I do? https://leidaharding.org/5823093646615/fed49fa542ebe67042c551f9d149d01b.html
Hi, this page keeps popping up on my computer with an "Urgent Download from Firefox", message with the correct Firefox symbol, etc. But I don't think it's legit. Any help as to what it is and what I should do. Thanks

Actually it has not been determined to be caused by malware on Windows systems but due to one or more Ad systems on websites. there is a new disposable site or two everyday used for this scam.
