Virus pop ups

[sleepylittlebunnies]

Is anyone else having pop ups about viruses? I’m on my iPhone and never had it happen before but has happened a few times tonight and only on Mumsnet. I haven’t clicked on the link but it keeps happening.

The giveaway here is that the background says Android, but the popup says iPhone.

Are you on a website that does this? If so, stop visiting that website.

Yes. Me too. On here.

I didn't spot that it was mumsnet. Report it in site stuff. I do not get this.

I had this too, about 15 mins ago.

Yes I just had one from apparently from mcafee. Never happened before

I’ve just had this pop-up whilst on Mumsnet.

Yes. On mn. Apple iPhone 14 something.

I thought this was some kind of covid thing

Yes, it’s happened on Mumsnet a couple of times to me tonight.

@HappiestSleeping I’ve had this phone over 6 years and have never had a pop up before. I’ve been on other sites but it’s only happened on Mumsnet on AIBU and just started tonight. Will post on site stuff as you suggest, thank you.

@TheWayTheLightFalls I’ve got iPhone 8 since new but never had a pop up.

@turnipsarelush not covid 😆

😂😂 I've got Malwarebytes installed on everything, and it often gives me 🔥WARNINGS 🔥 whilst on Mumsnet, presumably prompted by dodgy adverts. But it's never said my devices were infected by Covid!

Have posted on site stuff now.

I still think it is odd as it had the reference to two different types of phone.

I would suggest that you clear all cookies and site history in your browser as a start. This should be done every day or so anyway.

@HappiestSleeping I cleared site history and have now cleared cookies, thank you.
