    Probably done before but can’t search as keep getting these pages pop up. Android/chrome. How can I stop/get rid of, only happens on this forum

    I stopped using chrome in the end, couldn’t see any other way to do it, and the IT fairies didn’t seem to see the issue

    Have you tried Apus browser as an alternative? I switched and its a great wee browser. Nice speed dial and it has some other useful features 😉

    I was getting that this morning, on my mobile, but it seems to have gone now.

    Oooh I got that earlier. I thought my phone had a virus. Is it this site, then, and not my phone?

    I’ve had it loads the last couple of days, including when I opened this thread.

    Same issue here but on Opera Mobile when browsing whilst not logged in

    I assume it’s linked to a Google Ad which has not been vetted properly. Can’t do anything but close the tab. If you try to go back it reloads and opens the app store on their security product page.
    Only started yesterday and not just on this site.

    Will try to get a screenshot. I’m using Firefox on android with certain features enabled*

    * I know this is naughty and you derive revenue from adds amd that’s fine. However when you were hosting porn adds a few months back and I got to see a girls undercarriage, legs akimbo ony work computer – less fine.

    Worth pointing out that of all the sites I visit, this forum seems the most vulnerable to this sorta thing.

    Can’t use safari today without a popup (which locks Safari) about having a virus. Amusingly enough this is a box fresh laptop purchased yesterday. Installed Chrome and that is working OK.

    Got these for the first time tonight on MacBook with Safari, no problem on iPad. Sorry, no screen shot yet.

    The site was unusable to me yesterday. That pop up appeared after a few minutes and my phone wouldn’t stop vibrating. Not had it happen today.

    Just had it again…2nd time today. I dont run an ad blocker, but its getting very tempting. It links to:

    I’m getting it almost constantly too – only when browsing here or the classifieds though; not the main bike forum strangely enough.

    I’ve been getting this as well, on chrome on android phone.

    I am a subscriber but this doesn’t make any difference as I still get logged out every time so whenever I open the STW bookmark on my phone I open the site with ads and this comes up before the log-in option (eventually) appears.

    Have STW techies managed to replicate the logging out problem yet?

    Exactly the same here, I’ve got a P but I have to log in almost every time I come here. I’ve now saved my bookmark to the login redirect page. But I’ve been on the forum on my laptop, logged in, made a post, left the tab open for 15 minutes or so, then clicked on the ‘Overview’ link and I’ve been logged out again. Happens on my phone, tablet and PC.

    @hebdencyclist – In case it isn’t clear, this is a fake pop-up made to look like it’s a virus check.

    was browsing STW on Samsung S5 with Chrome – then just kept getting “you have won” pop ups saying click here, and a spin the wheel again to win with a pop up if tried to shut down – uninstalled Chrome or reverted it back to factory set up seemed to fix

    Ironically I don’t get these pop ups when browsing porn sites.

    I guess the irony is that in a world of free web content, STW is the only site I pay to use (with my P status) but it is also the one where I have the most issues and complaints.

    Wow, you don’t get ads on Cycle Chat, just chat.

    i have had 5-6 popups saying my apple computer is locked or i need to update flash (i don’t) all when browsing STW, not thad it with anything else (MBP up to date El Capitan/Safari)

    Hmm, just had that on Firefox\Android as I home.

    Not popped up all day at work, but then we do have a rather well configured firewall blocking such traffic. I suspect it is one of the side ads that has gone rogue, occasionally at work the site only works if I’m logged in with the ads off. I’d suspect the Firewall is having a fit at the dubious ad on the times it stops working.

    Phew, is thought it was just me. So is it replaced to STW or not?

    Only browse via iPad from now on.

    On OS X safari I’ve started getting redirects from the forum main page, it’s not even a pop up window in the background , it’s the live tab your viewing at the time.
