This is not malware. It's an invitation to download malware which is being presented to the user as a Javascript dialog box. It's only happening (at least for me) on HuffPo, and it's happened to me on two different computers.
My guess is it's a javascript embedded in one of HuffPo's rotating banner ads, which is why it doesn't happen every time you visit the site, and they're probably not aware of it themselves.
