You have a virus pop up on Android about 2 mins ago.

You need to sort out your advertising. If it's not this, it's the constantly updating banner ads crashing my phone (ee this week).

I keep getting the Cyclops one, as mentioned up thread just in the middle of reading a page, not when I click on a link. Hugely annoying because I load pages to read on the train/tube when I have no signal and this boots me off!

GravityLucy · 18/08/2016 08:29

Happening to me as well, in the middle of threads. Opens so many pages in quick succession that the back button doesn't work, I have to bring my full history up.

ChessieFL · 18/08/2016 08:10

Just happened to me again, reading through the 'did you know there's a bank holiday in August' thread. Again, it took me to the Marvel Cyclops page.

TheWildOnes · 18/08/2016 08:07

I've just had another virus pop up and win an iPad, using Google Chrome in HTC. Least it's not porn today!

ShoeJunkie · 18/08/2016 07:54

Hasn't happened to me (so far) while on the iPad.

Catzpyjamas · 18/08/2016 07:35

I'm on Silk Browser on Kindle Fire and have just been redirected to struct.nt-com.co/offer/g37dg/?s1=34M&s2=8tudqmgdj8f4&affid=223
without clicking on anything. I was reading a thread and it just changed.
When I clicked BACK, I never got back to MN, just saw other guff.

longdiling · 18/08/2016 07:25

Yep just happened to me a couple of minutes ago, as others said just as I was reading a thread. I'm on a Sony experia.

MoonlightMedicine · 18/08/2016 07:16

This kept happening to me yesterday too!

2LittleMonkeysJumpingOnMyHead · 18/08/2016 07:13

And again. iPhone 6 and safari

ShoeJunkie · 18/08/2016 07:05

iPhone 5se / safari
Just had these pop ups too - one of them slightly pornographic.

Berthatydfil · 18/08/2016 07:03

I've just won an iPad right in the middle of the thread about the ex blocking the bt broadband.
I'm on the mobile site with an iPhone 6s using safari.
The back button didn't work either as it took me to more ad pages so I had to close the browser window and open a new one.

TheBiscuitStrikesBack · 18/08/2016 06:46

Me too, iPhone 6 on safari.

Fourarmsv2 · 18/08/2016 06:45

iPhone 6 using mobile version on safari.

Fourarmsv2 · 18/08/2016 06:44

I'm being taken to the App Store and this page.

tiredvommachine · 18/08/2016 06:37

Galaxy S7, just had the direct to "Your phone is infected with a virus blah blah blah"

bonjovigirl · 18/08/2016 06:34

same popup as WhereDoAllThePokemonGo whilst scrolling on a thread on mobile browser. iPhone 5s Safari, wasn't logged in at time

SaltySeaBird · 18/08/2016 06:32

Just happened to me, using iPhone 5c / Safari. Didn't click on advert, was reading thread and just redirected to a contest page to win an iPhone which then redirected and opened the App Store. Annoying.

MooseyMouse · 18/08/2016 06:24

And again. Clicked "back" and it scrolled madly through addresses eventually landing on www.iloveboobs.com

MirrorMirrorOnTheFloor · 18/08/2016 06:22

Me, too. iPhone, mobile site, Safari.

MooseyMouse · 18/08/2016 06:09

I've just been redirected to this. Can't click back.

iPhone six. Safari. Mobile site.

2LittleMonkeysJumpingOnMyHead · 18/08/2016 03:18

Just happened to me. Porn. I couldn't click back as zillions of redirects and had to close tab and start over.

HappenstanceMarmite · 18/08/2016 03:08

iPhone 5s Safari.

regularbutpanickingabit · 18/08/2016 03:03

Me too, iPhone 6 and safari. Sent to a won a phone spam site.

nokidshere · 18/08/2016 02:43

Tedious to say the least! I can't read s y thread without being redirected to porn sites or your mobile has a virus site.

Get it sorted - it's offensive and a PITA
