Yesterday I was reading the New York Times online and went to a commentary entitled "Democracy 2.0" but instead got a window that said I had a virus on my computer and should get a certain anti-virus software. I couldn't cancel the window; I couldn't get any other window, and I couldn't quit my browser. So, I just rebooted.
When I tried "Democracy 2.0" again everything worked fine.
I didn't think I had a virus and sent feedback to the New York Times.
Today, cnet.news had an article, "Rogue ad hits New York Times site". It described everything I encountered yesterday.
