CrazyRay Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Why am I continuousy getting the "Kate Upton War Game", I believe, while scrolling the list of threads in a given forum? It's pulling me out of Safari, opening the App Store, and taking me to the download page of that game...and I'm definitely not clicking on an ad, nor is that game's ad even on the page I'm viewing Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/764729-pop-up-ads/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
vengeancehawk Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Your computer might have adware. I used GTAForums for about a year before I got AdBock but I still don't think I saw any pop-ups on here.

Franceska Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) Yeah, that could be adware, but it can also be a malicious ad. Try to see if there's anything strange in your app list. Or. If that doesn't do anything, do you remember which ad was on at the moment of viewing the thread, and do you think you're able to recreate the issue? If you can, post the steps here and which ad was on at the time of redirect. This should help in hunting down the malicious ad.

CrazyRay Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 I guess I should have been more specific: I'm using an iPhone (6) Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/764729-pop-up-ads/#findComment-1066903039 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franceska Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Yes, then it's a malicious ad. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/764729-pop-up-ads/#findComment-1066903202 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimsDaniel916 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Every time I go to GTAF a malicious pop up add appears telling me I need to update my software. Only happening on this site.

Sentrion Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Probably a malicious ad on your browser. Try using a different browser and see what happens. For me, the Ads are usually from eCommerce sites like Amazon which I frequently visit.

PhillBellic Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Strange. In my experience that has never happened. By the way I'm running Firefox V35.0.1, and Windows 7 SP1.

Sentrion Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Strange. In my experience that has never happened. By the way I'm running Firefox V35.0.1, and Windows 7 SP1.Thats because the OP is on iPhone 6, not a desktop PC. This seems to be an issue on Safari on OSX.
