I think it's harmless, but it can mess up your browsing experience.
There are other URLs that produce the same silly looking virus warning.

I suspect it's a new thing. Apparently it's a hard-core sales tactic.

It's a web page with some text overlayed with another panel of text,
making it impossible to read the initial web page. Says something about
windows firewall and registry, which is strange since I didn't know Linux
Mint Cinnamon had such things.
You can't close the page or close the browser (google chrome), but a
quick switch to terminal mode, a ps command and a kill of chrome did the
trick.

That's how we stop browser locking on Windows. A quick
trip to Task Manager, hammer the browser, problem solved.

If you want to stop processes from a Command Prompt window
(suitably elevated), there are

tasklist /?
taskkill /?

as your friends. But Task Manager is the control of last
resort, when the Desktop Interface has gone to hell and
won't let you open anything more.
