Recently, upon accessing a site via a non HTTPS connection, I have had an intrusive malware-like pop up appear, 2 or 3 times now, saying that our TV equipment is oudated and needs to be upgraded, which is a crock, since it works fine. Cease these invasive pop ups immediately or we will be switching to Verizon. Especially if you reply with some automated BS and lock the topic.
I searched 1 (800) 560-8131 and nothing Cox-related results. I'm not testing the URL.
Does UBlock allow you to right-click the pop-up to block?
Haven't tried, but yes, it should be able to.
@JWH1995, this is a valid pop-up that customers receive when they are advised to upgrade their equipment. Can you please reach out to us on Twitter at @CoxHelp, visit us on Facebook, or at cox.help@cox.com? We'd like to look at your account services in greater detail. -Kevin M.

It may not be Cox but like you hinted...malware.
Malwarebytes is a reputable, free program. Adblock Plus is also a good browser extension.
I use UBlock Origin and MBAM Premium. These popups are legit and other people have complained about them in the past.
