I HATE those pop-ups! I haven’t gotten them on this site but have on other sites. Hopefully, the moderators can do something about it!
UPDATE: I just got those pop-ups twice on this site, once while I was trying to view this thread.

Just been hit with it three times myself
I have not been hit! I using both Firefox and Safari and neither seem to be effected. I will work around the site and see if I get tagged.
Hmmm, Then I will try coming in without logging in and see what happens!
FYI: Thanks for reporting this!!!

Sorry, but I cannot duplicate what each of you are seeing! Clearly, there is a difference in how we are accessing or the bloody pains in the butt have moved on!
FYI: Not sure whether it makes a difference or not! But, I am crazy /nuts about clearing all Search History before I close-out of my Search Engine! Every time!!!
I am told that having lots of history attracts Bots (etc.) and activity keeping it empty helps. Not sure if that is true or or not, but its what I do.
As the other Moderators come on, they will likely try also.
Again, thanks for reporting this!

RIP Gandalf and Big Bird, you are missed.
I have seen this on iPhone and iPad on a Safari page, but never on a PC. Yep, the only way to remove is by closing the window.
I sent a copy of David's screen shot to an Administrator, will report back.

While we wait for a response, have you all tried clearing your cookies? Might help.

Just got hit again. I’m using Safari on my iPad.
I haven't seen it yet here, I'm using Chrome on a desktop. I have seen it other places, hope Stephen's idea about deleting cookies works until a permanent fix is found.

Same here, I was on last night. I was only able to post once before I kept getting the same message on my phone. I eventually gave up b/c it was too much of an interference.

Just cleared out safari, we will see! On iPhone, I use google as a browser. Had thought I was free of it this morning, but as soon as I opened this thread, it came back!
I even tried to satisfy it with information, but it directed me to a fake amazon site to claim my prize
—Just got hit again! On iPad/safari!
Am back using the google browser on the same iPad.

Getting hit again in safari(iPad), just switched to the google browser. When I went to page one of this post, the pop up hit me! I wonder if it is doing imaginary recognition!
From what I am reading, most likely, this malware is imbedded in an ad server! Since these robots use page content, certain pages may be prone to the pop up!

I used to use firefox till quantum now I use opera, I also use adblock plus, (free add on for both) and I've never seen that popup. Also adblock plus blocks youtube ads and etc.
https://adblockplus.org
I've been using it for years, I highly recommend.

Wow, this issue is making the forum unusable on iPhone. I"m not sure its anything you all can do. As I understand it, it's a pervasive issue on on many apple devices on many websites. I get it occasionally on Facebook when I click on articles to read.
