Hi MNHQ,

This has happened a few times now. I go to a page and my phone warns me that downloading xxxx.apk could harm my device. The .apk matches the ad at the top of the page which I have NOT clicked on.

Mobigenie and some betting site have been culprits so far. This is really not on...

Hi, ItsAllGoingToBefine.

We're so sorry to hear that you're having problems and we're going to look into this as quickly as we can, but it can't be until tomorrow as it's the weekend and the rest of MNHQ are elsewhere.

Is there any chance that you can take a screen shot of what's going on so we can have a look?

It's very wise of you not to click on it.

MNHQ

This sounds like the same issue that I am having. I will screenshot if I can but the add that do it only pop up very rarely.
