Advert causing security app warning to pop up

6 replies

An advert for Unhair, supposedly a wig retail site, is causing my security app, Avast, to show a pop up warning me that it is a scam site every time I scroll past it.

This is making reading any page in Talk very difficult and most annoying. Can you please investigate?

Sorry, it's Urhair.

It's a sign.

Are you a virgo?

Hi @Chersfrozenface , thanks for flagging this and for coming back with the correct name, that made it much easier to find. I've blocked Urhair across our inventory, so you shouldn't see it again. It can take a little while to clear, so do let me know if it turns up in the next day or so. Thanks!

@MaxSMumsnet thank you.

Hi @Greyover , sorry for the wait. I think this is likely to be the video player at the top of the page rather than a particular advertiser, and our partner will need to see the behaviour to troubleshoot it. If you're able to take a screen recording next time it happens and send it over using the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page, that would be a huge help. Thanks!
