Annoying Pop Up Ad

Discussion in 'Forum How To's - create an Avatar/Event/Group etc?' started by Towser, Mar 22, 2019.

  1. I read somewhere it’s a virus that’s is installed without you knowing via other software
     
  2. Didn’t you post earlier on the thread that you had it too?
     
  3. Installed in the website software yes. Tends to be hidden in an update, as so much is ad based algorithms. It’s not a local one
     
  4. Apologies. Thinking about it, you’re right, it happened once during the last time. But just the once. And it’s not happened (so far) this time
     
  5. Same. Not happened for ages.
     
  6. It's 100% happened to me today for ages

    Cleared safari of cookies and data, soft reset my phone, visited a few other sites and was fine, then came back on here and it was back. Then it follows through to other sites so can only presume it's cookie based?
     
  7. It will be sorted today. Cheers for the heads up.

  10. I use ADBlock on my PC and Iphone, and have no issues whatsoever. ADBlock seems good for stopping Ads, does what it says on the tin for me, and its a free download.

  14. Same yesterday. The pop up now doesn’t give me a chance to override it and clear the ad by logging in. But seems fine today.
    Still waiting for my prize though!!
     
  15. I use a app called Adblock and have no issues.
