Hello Hopi_Tribe,
 
Welcome to the Webroot Community,
 
Does this popup tell you what it wants to run on your computer? Like a Flashplayer update? Does it say it has or hasn't got a valid digital signature?
 
Internet Explorer's Protected mode helps protect your computer. If you do not trust this website, do not open the program.
 
May I suggest that you install a good free Ad Blocker?
 
For Internet Explorer Ad Block Plus: https://adblockplus.org/
