Default Annoying Popup Redirect

While using Safari on iPhone to look at the forum, an annoying pop-up appears about winning a prize. After clicking "close," it redirects to another page. Can't click "back" to return the forum. Need to close tab and reopen page.

Thanks for reporting

Next time you see it can you capture as much information as possible with screen shots of the ad, copy/paste of the URL and also the CL page you were on so we can identify the offending advertiser?

Also may may want to use adblocker plus which is out now (at least for iPad safari.)

Here's the link: you-gift-card.us/get

I was visiting the LS forum page, but this comes up when I visit other pages.

Thanks for letting us know, dchar. I'll pass this along to our ad team and let you know if they have any follow up questions.

Default Super Annoying!

I'm using Chrome on my Motorola Droid Maxx and get these all the time. This time I was looking at a windshield wiper thread in the NX forum, but it happens all over the CL site. Here's the URL and a couple screen shots.

Thanks for those details, metaleckz. Our ad team is still working to block the provider of these rogue ads, but we hope to have it resolved soon!

I've been getting the same this on my tablet and phone. Now on my android phone a red screen pops up saying " entering deceptive site" and something else. I'll try and screen shot it.
I'm thinking it's the Infiniti guys trying to slow the progress were starting to have with tuning our cars. 😂😂😂 jk

It's sometimes a game of whack-a-mole with these rogue ads, but these newer screenshots and details will help. Thanks!

Same here, Fixman. You can change the browser setting to request the desktop site, but it isn't the best solution. I haven't been able to determine the root cause. I have tried MalwareBytes, mobile Norton, and mobile Kaspersky but none of them flag any infections. I don't know if it's just aggressive ad banners on the mobile site but, yes, quite irritating.
