This is my post from the other other thread. The pop ups I got were the same as Pokemon posted upthread. Very annoying.

Just had a pop up telling me my Android phone is infected with several viruses. Couldn't get a screenshot and the only way to close it was to close the page completely. It was the thread about charging £5 a day rent to the OPs son. I didn't touch anything - the pop up appeared when I was halfway through reading a post.

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
Confused

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

Me, too. iPhone, mobile site, Safari.

MooseyMouse · 18/08/2016 06:24

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.

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

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.

This kept happening to me yesterday too!

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.
