My browser blocks a few pop ups.

And sometimes one goes through that says I have to install some BS to remove a fake virus and it takes up the whole screen.

Only happens when I visit GFAQs.

Also. Inb4 I browse GFAQs on my phone.

What's that new browser everyone uses that blocks popups, I need to install it. I have been one of 10 winners for that Walmart and YouTube scam at least 60 times since Saturday.

Have you tried reporting the ad? I did, and the staff got back to me saying they're trying their hardest to stop this from happening, but apparently the people behind the adware is relentless and other CBS related sites are having issues, too.

It was addressed but by these advertisements' very tactics they're difficult to detect by the people best in a position to stop it. I use Gameraven to browse GameFAQs though it does lack functionality for anything beyond the boards.

I usually freak out and just exit out and come back in because they're so intrusive and obnoxious. So I dont really notice the report ad button.

Tell that to SBAllen. All I know is that this wasn't happening here up until the turn of the year, and now it is.

SBAllen has made topics in the past about ads mucking up the mobile site, not sure where you were.

I don't know if he made a topic, but I recall him having entered one another user made to explain a bit of what was going on. He also has a topic up on the Announcements board.

Allen needs to shut the ads off for a bit and investigate. Instead he has us doing the work.

This is why I don't know about them, because Allen never posts them in high traffic areas like CE.

It's essentially the same as Chrome, but with the blocking and WAY faster.
