Pop-up when visiting site
 

Been getting the pop-up below for the last few weeks. I can close the tab then browser and come back without issues - only notice it here. Running Nougat and using Chrome.

That's a scam to get you to install that app. There are several programs that can stop those kinds of things. BitDefender is one, Malwarebytes is another. I like SpyBot Search & Destroy.

None of those have pop up blockers do they? uBlock Origin is where it's at for pop up blockers.

Thanks!

I only see the pop-up when visiting this site.

I use Ad-Block Plus when browsing this site from my PC. I hate to do that but this site is stupid heavy with pop-ups and ads in general. It's so bad I can't browse here on my PC due to ridiculous time needed to serve all the ads.

My iPad doesn't need it.

Ad blockers are browser add-ins, usually. The programs in my other post are run by the OS and have a memory-resident module that prevents drive-by installations and other darker events.

wow people still use spybot? i found it to be quite useless back on 2003.

from wiki "Although PC Magazine initially rated it highly in 2003, their rating declined to "poor" in 2008 and "dismal" in 2012, improving to "fair" in 2014"

and the pop up issue seems to be with using mobile devices. idk why but this site has become horrible in mobile view. those pop ups dont seem to occur when viewing in desktop view on mobile devices

i take it back the pops now occur in desktop view in mobile devices. all my pop ups are related to viruses lol

I get that redirect on Facebook. And only Facebook.

New user here and same problem .. CantC even use the site... Pop ups saying device is infected .. RealRe sad

If using chrome I would definitely check extensions installed as most of the time adware hides itself in there as random apps or random names. Otherwise I would scan your PC for sure, there is adware hidden somewhere inside it. Or clear out your browser as well.

Unfortunately I'm using an android phone with Chrome mobile... Weird that I have this problem only with this site...

Have you cleared your cache and cookies?

Download Firefox. It works better anyway, and I use it on my phone and have never seen the popup.
