No it doesn't.
This happened to me on STEAM with the built-in web browser on there. I quit out of the game and completely scanned my computer for malware/viruses/trojans, nothing.

As long as you don't download the rogue antivirus program, you're fine. It has something to do with the site being infected.

But yes, if that happens, quickly close out of the page. Don't download the software. Stay off the site for a few days.

I think Miga is right. My brother got the same website ad on his computer and he didn't go on it for a couple of days and he went back on and it didn't happen. So yeah I'll go off it for a couple of days and see what happens.

It CAN upload a virus on your computer but it doesn't do it immediately.

Just do what MrCookie did, screenie for lulz and close. He sent me this hilarious pic of a fake virus thing on MSN.
