So what was the issue?

Ontheboardwalk · 17/10/2018 22:59

Also interested in what was the issue? Was it the adverts?

Must say fair play for sorting it so quickly. I had same issue on local news site and I stopped clicking on the site because they didn’t fix it.

Ontheboardwalk - that’s interesting you had it on a local news site - I did too. Just once this morning after it happened on mumsnet - so I assumed it was something that had managed to attach itself via mumsnet.

namechange I had it before the mumsnet issue on the MEN site. Cleared everything down and it disappeared for a while. It then started again on MEN site so I stopped going on it. Fair play to mumsnet for actually sorting the issue.

For anyone using an iPad/safari Apple support says:

If you see pop-ups on your Mac that just won’t go away, you might have inadvertently downloaded and installed adware (advertising-supported software) or other unwanted software. Certain third-party download sites might include programs that you don’t want with the software that you install.

If you think that you might have malware or adware on your Mac, update to the latest version of macOS. If your Mac is already running the latest version, restart it. macOS includes a built-in tool that removes known malware when you restart your Mac.
Check your Applications folder to see if you have any apps that you didn’t expect and uninstall them. If you continue to see advertising or other unwanted programs on your Mac, contact Apple.

I know it says Mac but I did this with my iPad and it worked.
