I was just assaulted by this piece of ad-noise:

Congratulations!

Some unscrupulous ad provider is injecting unwanted Javascript into the Enworld pages.

not sure what can be done but thought you should know. The ad placer was some bible pusher.

Maybe, take a look and post back here.

Use an ad blocker?

 

[darjr]

Won’t do any good. The pop up is an application on their pc, not from any web site.

 

[Morrus]

Yup, not us. You got yourself virused or malware from somewhere. Best run a virus check and run an anti-malware tool of some kind.

 

[robus]

Ha - this is happening on an iPad. And only on enworld.

But good to know it’s not a general problem.

That changes things. What browser?

Safari. So i think the chance of it being a virus is pretty low. Javascript injection was the simplest explanation...

 

[darjr]

Still could be a dns hijack or host name hack. It does seem unlikely that you’d get it so consistently and there not being a lot of other folks getting it as well.

Still looking.
