That happened to me as well. I just exited the browser and restarted it, and then I installed the free Malwarebytes Browser Guard Chrome extension. Not sure if that helped, but I have not seen the pop-up since.
Have a great day.

My Sister started to get this. BitDefender totally missed it and couldn't detect it when I ran a scan. I had to follow the instructions on the following link, including downloading and using two other products to get rid of it..... https://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-mcafee-critical-virus-alert-popup/#malwarebytes-windows
