Potential malware problem

I use a lot of mods for stardew valley but the other day when I was looking through some it randomly redirected me to a website that said the typical "click allow to make sure you're not a robot" or the "your account is suspicious" thing which it has never done before

I tried closing and reopening the entire browser and eventually it stopped and I figured the problem was over until today the same thing happened and the solution isn't working I don't know why/how this started since I never click anything I don't recognize and triple check to make sure its the legit nexus mods website before I even open it

I type Stardewvalley into the game box, type Hair, Pet, ect, into the title box, then I open the mod I think might be interesting and it'll work perfectly fine for a couple seconds but then before I even finish reading the description (haven't clicked anything else or even scrolled the page yet) the page turns into the "confirm you're not a robot" page and the URL is changed completely or goes to the McAfee your pc has a virus scan now thing from that point on the only thing I click is the X to close the entire browser so luckily nothing has happened to my pc but can someone please look into this ive been using nexus mods for a couple years with no issues until now I really love it and it helps me get all my favorite mods for my games but now all I'm getting is potential viruses :(
