Seriously. The ads in the middle of the threads on mobile are awful. They spoil the flow of the thread. But this. This is a whole manner of fresh hell. Please. Stop it. It’s irritating. And driving me not to post here.

Hi,

I am looking into this but cannot recognise the ad, did any of you manage to see who the actual advertiser was so I can zapp them!

Thanks

Yup, I keep getting these. MNHQ what the hells going on??

I’ve had this too.
Fucking thing. I couldn’t even read the sodding page or make it go away.
And Fred Olsen sodding cruises. I keep jumping off the page I’m on and onto theirs. Press the back button and nothing. Bastards.

That link is one that was on the right of the page but I didn’t press it.

My phone keeps crashing as well - then the most recent link is Taboola

When infected with this adware program, other common symptoms include:

Advertising banners are injected with the web pages that you are visiting.
Random web page text is turned into hyperlinks.
Browser popups appear which recommend fake updates or other software.
Other unwanted adware programs might get installed without the user’s knowledge.

I used to have this. I don't know if it was to do with Google and Mumsnet.

It became REALLY annoying. I got exactly the same thing and it just appeared out of no where.

I now use Mumsnet on Firefox with ad block. It's stopped this happening.
