Livid - porn on my phone! please help

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 Angry.

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?

So this has just started to be an issue for me and I find out looking here that it's been going on for the best part of a week?!

Disgraceful that it's taking this long to sort. Come on HQ!

Yes apparently so. All our family kindles are linked to the same Amazon account. I'm not technically minded so assume that the other Kindle belonging to DD has become cross infected from mine?

GloGirl · 21/07/2016 18:26

Sorry my picture didn't attach.

No I've not cleared my cache. I cannot be fucked Angry

I do have AVG on my mob which gave me a clean scan yesterday

Just got the supermarket one again, despite clearing cache about an hour ago (at some inconvenience as will now have to log back in to every site). HTC phone, Android, chrome, not via a link. Please get it sorted!

AYD2MITalkTalk · 21/07/2016 18:22

So you've had the problem on a non-MN site, Mermaid?

BTW, just happened again.

TheUnsullied · 21/07/2016 18:22

I've had the Tesco one twice. I hadn't clicked on anything, was just redirected while reading. I'm on a galaxy s7. It's really annoying Angry

SusanAndBinkyRideForth · 21/07/2016 18:21

Just had the tesco ad one on my android phone using Chrome. Very very annoying as I couldn't seem to browse away, and have had to come onto my laptop to get onto mumsnet to update my live labour thread!

MermaidofZennor · 21/07/2016 18:18

Actually DD just told me that she has had the supermarket one pop up a couple of times, but she ignored it, closed it, and went back to the site she was on. She's never used her kindle to access MN so must have come from mine ???

MermaidofZennor · 21/07/2016 18:06

This just popped up, first time today. No porn as yet, fortunately. Worried the DC might get it on their kindles Angry

StealthPolarBear · 21/07/2016 18:00

Just happened to me now. I also seem to get a lot of supermarket ones

MrsPMT · 21/07/2016 17:55

Porn pop-up happened approx 5.28pm on Silk browser on my Kindle Fire, not logged in to MN at the time, just browsing a thread.

Will get more details if happens again

TheSpottedZebra · 21/07/2016 17:55

Oh, and I'd cleared cache, ran virus scan etc.

YellowShockedFace · 21/07/2016 17:54

Just had the Tesco ad too!

TheSpottedZebra · 21/07/2016 17:54

I've had another one.

MachiKoro · 21/07/2016 17:53

FFS-- tesco one now.
This should have been sorted.
I refuse to believe a company the size of MN has no clout with third party advertising providers, that they cannot instantly switch off the ads until the provider sorts this. Either your site code is compromised (wouldn't be the first time, would it?Hmm) or your ad provider is.

varvara · 21/07/2016 17:28

Argh, it just happened again! A whole lot of other rubbish flashed up before it finished up on the porn one (didn't see if it was same one as before but it appears in my history as pornbash and the address is funtube.co.uk.) I had cleared my cache earlier, so really am off now until this gets sorted. Angry

AtAt · 21/07/2016 17:27

I just had the tesco one. Can I just check if this is some rouge thing only connected to MN, or could it be a malware/virus thing? I haven't clicked on any links that pop up, just frantically clicked my back button till I went back to MN.

global.ymtracking.com/trace?offer_id=117063&aff_id=101140&aff_sub=5790f60ab7b7a4132e8b45c5 I just been redirected to this site, I'd just cleared my cache as well. I'm on a Samsung s6 Google Chrome browser

YellowShockedFace · 21/07/2016 17:20

(It was the fuckswipe website too)

YellowShockedFace · 21/07/2016 17:19

I just had naked ladies too. I am on a iPhone.

HelterSeltzer · 21/07/2016 17:19

Have had porn sites open when I've been on chat today and have not clicked on anything Hmm

Livid - porn on my phone! please help
DiamondInTheRuff · 21/07/2016 17:16

Cache cleared. Happened again.

Had enough now. I'm off .

GreenDragon1 · 21/07/2016 17:08

I am really cross too, I was sitting next to my poorly DD when the porn tab opened. Thank goodness she didn't see.

glasgowlass · 21/07/2016 17:06

Just got porn on my phone. Didn't have time to get a url as my 3 year old was sitting on my knee. Seriously livid!Angry

I opened TIO, not clicked on anything.

Samsung phone. Android. Chrome.
Ran virus scan & malware last night, cleared cache this afternoon.
