I've seen websites before that would display fake virus warning popups, but those are usually connected to a specific site and you can get rid of them by killing the browser process. But today I found a fun new wrinkle on it, abusing notifications in Chrome. This allows the popups to persist even after killing the browser and even rebooting. This article put me on the right track to solve a similar issue for one of our users. https://eviatargerzi.medium.com/analyzing-and-cleaning-the-your-computer-is-infected-with-dangerous-viruses-adware-daf58450b8a7
