Thread: Extremely Invasive Advertisements!

This may help: Stop those 'congratulations' pop up ads on phone - NBC26 WGBA-TV Green Bay, WI

I get that same pop up once in a while on my iPhone. After a couple retry's it's gone for another month or two.
Never get it on my Mac though

What I find most interesting is that the ONLY page where I get this redirect is SRP. I have been using this iPad for several years and never had this occur. Only on my Windows machines.

Thanks for the link. It describes the page exactly (even the comments on the page). I followed the proceedure again. No joy. I am not and have never been a member of Facebook or the other social media sites. Even forums, SRP is the only forum I have joined in the last 5 years. I have found most to populated by persons I do not wish to be associated with. I am trying Chrome on the iPad. So far so good. Twice this morning I tried Safari and both times got redirected.

There is a possibility the malicious code is being delivered via tracking pixels or some other innocuous image or JavaScript file embedded in the banner ads. I understand that SRP doesn't directly control them.

It should also be noted that I am using Google Chrome browser on my Samsung Galaxy S3 phone, and have never downloaded "untrusted third party apps" etc.

I had this too, using Google Chrome, cleared the cache and history, and it seemed to take care of it.

This just started to happen recently on my iPad too, they are really annoying! I tried the above and I still get the darn things...

Yeah they seemed to be back again last night.......on my iphone only though

I still get them everytime I use Safari for SRP. Switched to Chrome (which is VERY slow on my iPad) for SRP and all is good. It seems to be specific to Safari and SRP. I use Safari on the iPad for everything else with no problems.

It is hitting hard today. But now I've had it on a few other sites with safari today

No other sites for me, just this one! I had to log in three times before the damn ad didn't force me to close the browser window.
