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?

Samsung S7 chrome if that helps.

GaryGilmoresEyes · 21/07/2016 17:02

OFFS! Now I've got it. And yes cache is cleared.

Butterchunks · 21/07/2016 17:01

Yup, still happening. HTC, chrome, mobile site. I've not downloaded any new apps or clicked any dodgy links.

Greendragon that's a very similar Web address to the one that came up for me.

GreenDragon1 · 21/07/2016 16:59

And now I have porn on my phone :(

I cleared my cache on my phone a little while ago (Nexus 5x using chrome) so I thought I would be safe to use my phone again.

Yesterday I was only getting the supermarket vouchers yesterday which was preferable tbh.
It's absolutely awful porn as well, you really have to do something about this.

It happened to me too and this is the link. That came up. I didn't click any links on any pages, i was just scrolling down a mumsnet thread then suddenly this crap popped up-

USERS PLEASE DO NOT CLICK THIS LINK, THIS SHOULD ONLY BE CLICKED BY MNHQ-

Icanseeclearly · 21/07/2016 16:55

And again. That's twice today after song as you asked. I didn't get the landing page as it skips through too quickly then stops on a pop up.

This really should be sorted by now Hmm

hugoagogo · 21/07/2016 16:41

Ewwie

hugoagogo · 21/07/2016 16:41

hugoagogo · 21/07/2016 16:37

Argh, now I have porn.
I am afraid I didn't get the url I just jabbed back back back back back like a mad thing.
I had just cleared my cache too.

AYD2MITalkTalk · 21/07/2016 15:11

Don't get me wrong, it's not a massive hardship or anything Grin - but mildly irritating.

AYD2MITalkTalk · 21/07/2016 15:05

Not immensely keen on clearing my cache, either, TBH, but at least it's not a full factory reset.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 21/07/2016 15:00

Glo - quite Hmm

GloGirl · 21/07/2016 14:46

How about, "Sorry everyone for thinking you were all idiots who install rubbish and for asking you all to clear out all your personal data and reboot your phone completely if you keep seeing porn pop ups" Hmm

Thank you for all the feedback you have given, the information you have provided has been a great help.

We are trying out a temporary change on the site

Could you please clear your cache on your device first. If you are then still receiving unwanted popups or redirects after this, then can you please email [email protected] the following details.

  • Date and time of when the ad appeared (as close as possible)
  • Location
  • Type of device you are using
  • The page you are on
  • Landing page of the ad, if tap and hold on your device and click copy link you will get this

To clear your cache on iOS and Android devices, the following guides will help:

Android: www.phonearena.com/news/How-to-clear-cookies-cache-and-history-in-Chrome-for-Android_id70104

Once again, thank you for all your feedback.

Sooverthis · 21/07/2016 14:20

It's hAppening constantly so I'm off hope you can fix this will wait for an email

stupidgreatgrinonmyface · 21/07/2016 14:18

I've had the Tesco one and the one telling me I've won a phone. Yesterday evening, around 8-9pm. Just reading a thread each time, didn't click any links. I don't have Pokemon Go. All my apps are ones I've had for ages which were transferred to this new phone a couple of weeks ago. HTC Chrome.

JustGettingStarted · 21/07/2016 13:58

I just clicked on a thread under "Active" and got porn.

Cineraria · 21/07/2016 13:55

I've had the Tesco one and the porn one using Chrome on Android (Samsung Galaxy Note 4). I think it was through clicking through from the active threads box but it's possible I may accidentally have clicked on exactly the same spot in the thread as it opened.

Sooverthis · 21/07/2016 13:43

I keep getting redirected to some Tesco Competition shut when I click on threads I'm on. I have ads blocked on my Kindle Fire and have never clicked on anything. This has not happened to me on any other site.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 21/07/2016 13:40

Me too, yuck.

Redglitter · 21/07/2016 12:45

Just had the porn pop up while I was looking at mumsnet at work- not ideal. It wouldn't close down until I hit the home button

twoduvetsandablankie · 21/07/2016 11:18

I was reading a post on chat this morning on my phone (browser not app, which I don't have) and a porn window appeared in place of the thread. Pressing the back button didn't help so I closed the tab. I was having the same issues yesterday but the tabs/windows were for Iceland, Tesco etc competitions. Sorry I've not rtft but I know people were having issues with porn pop ups on the mobile site yesterday so thought I'd let you know I'm experiencing the same today. Phone is a Vodafone smart ultra 6 and browser is Chrome.

This is the site. I've put gaps in too.
