I don't, and won't, access this place from a mobile. It seems amateur hour with the ads here.

I am also getting the SkyBet automatic redirect on Safari on the iPhone. It is increasingly frustrating.
I don't know how such a big company (BSkyB) are allowed to get away with having an advert that automatically diverts your Safari to the app store whenever you open a webpage with its advert on. I have cleared cookies and am certainly not a gambler so would hope that FlyerTalk is able to block the Sky Bet ads.

I don't have screens shots but this is happening to me once a week. Very annoying!

Edit : another you need to run this software, your system is infected. Can't post on mobile. Totally unacceptable on FT!

I think that you will find that Sky actually has very little to do that with. Either they or their marketing agency create the ad -- its graphical content that is -- and then Sky would give it to their ad partners to distribute. I would not rule out those ad partners subcontracting things to increase the spread. After all, the more eyeballs and the more clicks, the more the profit.

But the above does not change the fact that FT should not be using ad providers that use such ads.

Your post reminded me to turn on the safe Web browsing portion of my antivirus software. Can't tell if it's working yet.

Fake Virus Warnings on Flyer Talk
 

Everytime I surf over here on my Android (running a new version of Nougat) I can fake virus warnings which requires me to disable Javascript to get beyond. I'm guessing it is coming from a rogue advertiser. Anyone else having this problem?

To assure the Internet Brands team sees this, we'll move it to the Technical Support board.

Also getting lots and lots (nearly every visit, several times per day) of redirects to fake virus/malware detection sites when visiting FT on my Android mobile. I don't have to disable anything to get away, but the back button doesn't work to get away and I have to just close the tab.

I'll try to get screenshots next time to post in the other thread.

Please post any new reports of bad ads and screenshots to the main thread:

Multiple hijacks in the span of several minutes.

McAfee Webadvisor Blocking
 

McAfee is today blocking an advertisement, showing "We tested this page and blocked content that comes from potentially dangerous or suspicious sites..."

Some websites that I know, when faced with many complaints about bad ads on mobile devices, have disabled ads on those platforms. Yes, doing so affects revenue, but it's better than growing displeasure from users that will do more harm in the long term.

FT mobile has become unusable for me because of all these ads that keep redirecting my browser.

What a shame!!!! This is unacceptable!!

Irritating hijacks continue, still no ability to back out of them - have to close the page and return to FT.

Screenshots from this morning, from an Android device using the Chrom​e app:

You don't expect this kind of problem from a place like Flyertalk. Very frustrating.

Guess what happened as I'm about to leave this thread! Another of these annoying fake warnings. I will try to post inage. I am so unhappy with IB and Flyertalk right now!!! There are other travel sites out there that don't serve up garbage.

SO GUESS WHAT?!?! WHEN I TRIED TO COME BACK TO THIS THREAD, AGAIN I GOT ONE OF THESE FAKE VIRUS WARNINGS. I DIDN'T SAVE THE SCREENSHOT. I WAS TOO UPSET ABOUT THIS HAPPENING TWICE IN 15 MINUTES!!!!

INTERNET BRANDS, YOU REALLY NEED TO GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER. BETWEEN THE TRENDING FORUMS AND FAKE VIRUS WARNINGS, THIS PLACE IS BECOMING UNUSABLE.
