This site opens a dialog box claiming some update, like a Windows 10 upgrade or an Adobe update, is required. Sometimes it claims that my system is infected with viruses. Other times, it tries to download "Open Download Manager," a PUP. Please block this site with a warning for an attack site. I hate dealing with this whenever I misspell "gmail".
