Default 'four virus's pop-up.
Twice now I've had an unwelcome pop-up from this forum telling me that I have 'four virus' and need to download an app to fix it.

Only happens on mobile. Only happen on this forum. Anybody else had the same?

It told me I'd picked it up from an 'adult site'. Must've been Pistonheads or something since there seem to be a lot of cunts...

I ran AVG and that seems to have stopped it.

The pop-up is just click bait, they say anything to try and get you to click the link to their dodgy web site. Very obtrusive though.

Yeah, I seem to receive a lot of 'invoices' by e-mail for stuff I've not ordered. Great place to hide a macro...

can someone post up a screen shot and url for the popups? IB is trying to track down the ad partner responsible.
thanks

I'll let you know if I see one again - I don't use my phone that often to access the site though.

I don't have them either- maybe a UK/Euro thing? Aquila Eagle looking into those Russian/Eastern Euro brides again?
