IGN.com virus pop up

[chowdog13]

I noticed recently that when visiting ign.com a pop up comes up claiming that the device I'm using has a virus. I first noticed this on my 2012 Nexus 7, I then factory reset my tablet only to go back to ign.com and find the pop up still popping up. It does the same thing on my nexus 4 and my mom's Samsung Galaxy S3. (All through chrome) I loaded the site on the dolphin browser and there was no pop up.
So to me it seems as this is a chrome based issue on ign's side. Can anyone verify this? It seems to only occur if your viewing the site in a non-mobile version.

Should I be worried?

I wouldn't worry about it. Probably just an ad.

Just spoke to a few of my friends, they all have it too. It's something with ign.com and chrome. Nice to know it's not some sort of virus on my device.

Yes, that's an ad that's very deceptive. The average person wouldn't know any better and will click it.
