If you're on iOS 9 and above you can add content blocker in Safari setting that will bypass most ads.

My apologies for the unwanted downloads. Have any of you continued to experience the issue since the end of the weekend?

Getting the same thing on my iPhone. It forces redirects to the app store no matter what setting you have.

Whover has control of the ads found on this site is injecting or attempting to inject malicious material. If it can bypass most ad blockers, who knows what type of malicious code can be remotely run without your knowledge, especially on Android and Windows, less so on sandbox iOS.

It's not uncommon for websites to infect people with "drive-by" malware through the ads. No input required as you wouldn't even know you were infected.

Just to clarify, is it downloading the multiple files at once or the one file downloading repeatedly over a prolonged period?
