happens to me also on mobile. I can't say for sure if it's only this site though.

I have ad-blocker plus. Never see any malvertising.

More than likely you have an infection. Try using Malewarebytes (free version). It will clean it up.

Lots of malware is FUD. Fully Un-Detectable. It's a selling feature for most malware, and odds are your AV will never, ever recognize entire strains of it. Malwarebytes isn't bad, but it's no pancea. Sadly, the only reliable way to rid yourself of malware is a factory fresh start.

I have an enterprise security.. and even though it blocks the site from loading properly - it still opens a window because it bypasses the adblocker.

The problem is the source of the ads CL takes in..

Perhaps this is a conspiracy.

Can confirm, some sketchy fake mobile ads being served by one of the ad providers. Experienced on multiple phones and on a brand new phone. It is not our phones. Fake 'OMG YOU HAVE A VIRUS' have been scams for 10+ years, no legitimate virus scan would operate off an ad on a website.
