Livid - porn on my phone! please help

457 replies

bibbitybobbityyhat · 15/07/2016 08:12

I'm not the most tech savvy person, can anyone help please?

Last night I was posting on Mumsnet and an advert for a sex chat site appeared out of nowhere which had a close up video of a woman using a vibrator on herself that completely filled the screen .

How did I inadvertently do this? It was on the Louise Mensch thread, I followed a link to the tweet and read it, then went back to post my message. I think when I hit post is when the porn appeared but I can't be entirely sure. I couldn't work out how to get it to stop either for a minute, or how to close the page.

I don't want porn on my phone ffs! What can I do?

I've just got Tesco voucher page too

Roussette · 20/07/2016 21:34

I keep getting giant Mumsnet too... everything is huge. I refresh a couple of times and then it goes

I had this yesterday. Just scrolling through the odd thread and suddenly random porn ad. I hadn't clicked on anything but got redirected several time to some random porn site. Hope this gets sorted soon.

I've had the Tesco voucher tosh and a kindle pop up too. No more pop-up porn thankfully. Have removed all cache / browser history and installed AVG. I'll try the other app if happens again.

treaclesoda · 20/07/2016 19:56

Have just had this pop up when I tried to browse active threads.

Then a 'your phone is infected' warning that was difficult to close, and then when I got rid of it, mumsnet froze completely.

Ugh, how horrible. The tech team is still working on this. We really appreciate your patience, we know this is unpleasant and are very sorry that it's still happening.

Sirona · 20/07/2016 19:45

Mine's been doing that quite a lot AYD2 lately, not just on my phone (windows) but my tablet (android). Usually reload and it comes up as normal. I had the Tesco thing as well twice today on my phone as I said on the other thread.

GloGirl · 20/07/2016 19:39

I reported it yesterday, on Samsung phone Chrome browser. I downloaded AVG today and ran virus scan, no issues.

Just happened again, 7.36pm. Not impressed.

TondelayaDellaVentamiglia · 20/07/2016 18:58

I had an errant page on my laptop...July 15th

creatives live jasmin . com ...have put the spaces in so it's hopefully not going to cause an issue

it was a blank page, loaded up separately to the others, I presumed AVG had caught something, as I am a careless clicker and the cat had been helping me traipsing over my lap and keyboard

and MN has been behaving oddly today! I keep getting GIANT Mumsnet pages up!

Nobrain · 20/07/2016 18:57

Sorry, the above 2 incidents are separate.

Nobrain · 20/07/2016 18:56

FFS! Page I was on is: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/2689917-not-to-let-DS-sleep-with-his-girlfriend-in-our-house-yet-but-when

Dafuq going on?

Nobrain · 20/07/2016 18:48

Scan all clear. Just had the above happen while reading a thread. No links or anything Pressed.

WholeAgain · 20/07/2016 18:41

And me.

Brainwashed · 20/07/2016 18:33

Yep I've had that page too today and dodgy porn site yesterday.

PortiaCastis · 20/07/2016 18:33

Yes I keep getting that AYD

ohidoliketobe · 20/07/2016 18:30

Yes, I've also had mumsnet pages loading looking as per ADY2MI post at 18:26. Reload worked so just dismissed it but could well be linked

AYD2MITalkTalk · 20/07/2016 18:29

(lt does happen from time to time, but not often.)

ChardonnayKnickertonSmythe · 20/07/2016 18:29

I had this too TalkTalk

ohidoliketobe · 20/07/2016 18:27

Tesco vouchee winner here too while browsing active threads page. I had some winning one yesterday afternoon.

Android phone, Chrome browser
Not happening on ANY OTHER website (and I've been on a fair few today)
AVG anti virus already installed, ran an extra scan and flagged nothing.
I do NOT have Pokemon Go
I haven't installed any new apps for a while (can't spot any unknown ones when I check either).

AYD2MITalkTalk · 20/07/2016 18:26

This has been happening to me today and yesterday, too (and weirdly it has my email address in a contact form type thing at the bottom?) - anyone else had this?

AYD2MITalkTalk · 20/07/2016 18:22

I know this doesn't help at all diagnostically. But here's another annoying screenshot. Looks like the Tesco scam the flavour today, which is at least less unpleasant than "broken teens".
