"Your [device] is infected" popup when browsing FlyerTalk
I have been getting a persistent popup "warning" about my device (which happens to be a Samsung Galaxy tablet), only when I'm looking at FlyerTalk pages. I've googled a bit aobut it and gather that these are only persistent ads, not real infections, but they are getting increasingly annoying, occurring multiple times per day, and I'd like to know if anyone knows how to stop them.
They only happen when I am looking at FlyerTalk using the Chrome browser on this tablet. Not on other devices, not other websites. Yes I've run antivirus scans, yes I've cleared the Chrome history and cache. Some of the suggested fixes I've seen (e.g., delete all apps, factory reset) seem impractical.
Why, I wonder, does this only happen when I'm on FlyerTalk on my tablet?
