I was in my thread in war stories. I was scrolling down the page. I'm not sure if I accidentally touched an ad or it just decided to pop up but either way it's bs.

This is one of those ads that try to fool unsuspecting people and will not let you go back and keeps hammering you with a pop up when you try to leave the page. I regret removing adaway because of garbage like this

 

Wow. Get that ish outta here

 

I have mentioned to remove the silly adds from our homepage and site...

The answer I got was... not much they can do about them, lol.

 

Well if we are going to have ransomware ads on this site and "they can't do anything about it" I'll happily throw adaway back on my phone. Being my phone is my internet connection for home too that will take care of every ad everywhere. They don't want revenue that is fine by me.

 

Hi everyone!

IB uses partners who place ads on IB's network. That type of spam pops up ever once in while (not frequently) generally due to a hack of the company selling the product or services or a virus from elsewhere. Google is pretty quick to remove them from their ad servers if it is theirs. I'm assuming this popped up on your Android? The popup many not have anything to do with IB's ad partner servers but a browser hack or virus from elsewhere. In any case I have asked IB to take a look. Thank you for letting us know.

thanks bob

 

Ack.

I'll shoot the biz folks an email.

 

I've had good luck with this until yesterday. Yesterday and today I got a pop-up similar to this on my phone. It pretty much hijacks the open tab and causes the phone to vibrate nonstop. Only way to kill it is kill the tab.

 

Hi,

Where were you browsing and your device, OS and browser please. Thanks.

Bob

 

Browsing this site, nexus 5x on Android 6.0.1. chrome browser

 

Thank you! I'll pass to IB.

Bob

 

Thanks!

 

Got it again, here's a screenshot

 

Great, thank you!

Adult sites... looks like my bank and news sites are putting viruses on my phone

Seriously though, I can't use this site anymore from my phone.

 

Using my I phone on this site will only allow me to scroll about 10 posts and then it just freezes. Only on this site. I can exit using the phone but it's like the site stops communicating.

 

Yeah at times that happens to me ^

 

Hi,

What phone, OS and browser please? Also have you tried the default mobile template which should load from your browser? Thanks!

Bob

 

Got that message today

 

Hi,

Do you remember the page you were viewing? Thanks!

Bob

 

i get the virus message all the time. i cant click back. i have to shut down the whole thing and get back to the same spot. sometimes it will do it 3 times in a row. talk about getting pissed off omg. it only happens to me on my cell phone on mobile version only. seems to do it when i click the forum bottom then click one and thats right when it does it.

 

Happens to me all the time. Close the page and come back.

The new home page is still doesn't work half the time on mobile.

 

I do not remember what page it was

 

Ok thank you. I passed the info to Internet Brands today, they have not seen this one before on Android. Do you have a Malware app on your Android phone you can use to scan your phone?

Bob

 

My phone is brand new. Did it with my old phone and the new one. Can't be 100 percent but I'm pretty sure it's not a phone problem being it's brand new
