I am having the same issue. It is quite annoying. Hopefully this will be addressed asap. I am on an iPhone so it may only affect them.


Nope it's on Android devices too.

I bought two apps that fixed it. $3.00 for AdsOFF and PhishingOFF. UHH is much nicer without interruptions. So are all sites, without ads.

Not spending any money, since this is the only site affected.

I agree.

BTW - this entire thread is still AWOL from the section's list of threads.

They work great. Thanks, good find! Of course, I am wondering what won't work because it needs to be on the white list.

Yeah, everytime I look for this thread, it's gone. I hope that means the administration took care of the problem.
I use Chrome on my tablet and it popped up once and I ran my anti-virus and it hasn't popped up since. I hope it says that way!

I think I spoke too soon. Running anti virus didn't help. It's popped up three times in the past few minutes using Chrome. Guess I won't be coming back for a while.

Everytime I click on a forum post to read it redirects me to a congrats you won a Walmart gift card...blah, blah, blah. Running the latest os on my iPhone 6s.

It doesn't happen on any other site.


The first time I read this I wasn't getting the ad. Then I responded to a quote and STARTED GETTING THE DAMN WINNER NOTIFICATION. Switching from iPad to iPhone worked for a while then it came back. Now, I am on my desktop and...

...I figured it out! Look at how the site in your mailbox is labeled: Ugly Hedge Hog whereas the REAL site is Ugly Hedgehog! Anyway, I think that's it. I don't get the ads when I click on Ugly Hedgehog.

So far so good. What'd you find out. Posting from phone.

It's rogue adware that targets iOS. One of the ad networks promised that they had caught it. But I guess not. So I disabled that ad network for now until they fix it.

But I need to make sure that was it. So I need reports on whether it happens again or not throughout the day today.

I had stopped posting from my iPhone because the steps you gave us yesterday worked just for awhile. Each time I did them I had to re-logon of course, so at some point I just gave up and went to desktop only access, which meant much less activity for me here.

Well, I seem to have gotten all the way thru this.

Is it working fine now?
