Virus Popups on Mobile Site


Recommended Posts

Is anybody else having trouble with the mobile version of the boards?  About 5 seconds after I load up the site, a popup takes over and its supposedly Walmart or Youtube.  I know better than to click on the ads, but they don't even let you hit the back button and go back to the site.  I have to reload the site.  It's completely unusable.

 

Happens with Chrome and the default browser.  I downloaded Norton and everything came up clean.  No viruses on my phone.

 

Is anyone else having these problems??  

 

 

(I know this could go in the support section of the forums but I wanted people to actually see it.)

I get that this is a joke, but I just want to say I don't look at porn and I'm still affected by this issue. Only saying this to make it clear that SRC needs to fix some shit.

I'm also porn free.  Who's looking at porn on their cell phone, anyways?

Ugh, you'd be surprised (actually, it's exactly the type of people you would think would do it). Glad to see its not just me whose having issues. Shit's gettin rediculous.

I get these constantly (on Chrome specifically). Redirecting pop-ups, it's sketchy and super annoying.  I primarily browse VC using Brave Browser on mobile because it hard blocks all spam/pop-ups. Not a legit fix system side, but at least it makes the boards usable.
