Malware???

I haven't experienced this problem before and haven't received any other reports. Have you ruled out a local issue by running a virus scan like @knapplc suggested? May also not hurt to do a complete history/cookies cleansing of your browsing history, and if you have something like CC Cleaner installed your PC, doing that as well.

 

Not sure if @BigRedMax would have any other insight.

Got this information from our ad ops. 

----------------

Google is experiencing a large scale glitch in ad creative rendering impacting Google DV360 and Adsense. This has been happening since Tuesday September 22 early morning. The issue manifests as a browser dialog box to confirm the download of a file. The file is -not- malicious, this does -not- contain malware, just ad serving code.
 
Google ads are currently experiencing sporadic issues where the browser might display a dialog box (or “popup”) to indicate a pending download. This is not- a malware attack. Due to the nature of the issue, we are not currently able to block these dialog boxes. The issue has been escalated and is being investigated.

These f.txt is not malware according to this recent report/article that came out today.  It is a glitch with Google ads that is being investigated.
