every few days, I get redirected to some kind of site that says I won something, congrats, etc. not sure if it’s intended, or there is a bug somewhere.
 
We do not use redirects. Usually this is the result of a spyware or malware on your computer. I would recommend running a scan of the pc. If it persist let me know
 
If this happens again if you can pay attention to which ad it is we can have it removed from the mix.
 
Ok, just checked back. I’m using my iPhone when it happens, and just had three pop when I clicked this thread. Screen shots below, Web address visible.

Thanks we will get this reported.
 
Do you have games on your phone ? Games can cause that to happen .
 
I made a thread on the four virus scareware awhile back and it was only on my android Gs7 it would pop up. I had to become a premier member then it instantly stopped.
 
Now it’s happening in every thread I click on. :mad:

May have to take a break here.
 
It got really bad on my iPad too. As Dr K said in his post, I joined as a premier member and the problem went away immediately. It is definitely in the adds.
 
Need to look into premier, it’s happening so often it’s impossible to do anything.
