Dangerous Site Warning

Was just reading an innocuous thread when a red warning flashed up saying that the site was dangerous and that said site was asking me to do something dangerous. Disappeared quickly but as I read further posters it happened again so I came off Mumsnet for a moment. Has anyone else had this?

Yes I just got the same. It flashed on and off so quickly, I couldn’t manage to get a screenshot but it said the same as @Dahliasrule. It was a red screen with the message

Yes i got this once yesterday. The same as @shellyleppard except it was Macafee.
Gave me a real fright .I did a scan on my phone after it happened because it was worrying.

I saw this on the other thread but my screen was different. It was totally red. Flashed up dangerous site and something about the site wanting me to do something dangerous.
