Make note of that websites you are at when you see this and stay away from them.

It's a common scam. Click the X to close the window. You should then see a box at the bottom, Do not allow this site to create new messages. Check it and then close that window and finally the popup.

If that doesn't work, for Edge, follow the instructions by Scott_Ki here:
