I get that popup on every single page click on the Marriott Board, even when logged in. Every. Single. Page. Click.

I get this one at least once a day, if not more.

American Express (canada) ads, on all 12 pages that I tried to load.

The site is working okay for me in Firefox, though not in Safari.
Flyertalk is the only site that gives these errors for me in Safari.
The American Express Canada ads continue to appear (on both browsers), and seem to be the cause of the problem.

Thanks for your help trying to rectify this.

Does your browser have cookies turned off? The only way the ad knows if you have seen it already (and to stop displaying) is if you have cookies.

When I visited the FT homepage just now, my browser displayed a dozen Flash-related Internet security popups. They cascaded across the screen. The ad URL they mentioned was "redir.adap.tv" -- the browser crashed a few moments later.

I'm running Flash 20.0.0.267 in Safari 9.0.2 on Mac OS X 10.11.2, visiting from the United States.

[Edit: it appears the follow-up message I posted containing a screenshot has been deleted for some reason. Attaching it here.]

Whenever I go to the Chase Forum for the first time in a FT session, this appears (grayed out screen with a tiny window and an X near the FT logo). Doesn't appear anywhere else and been occurring for about the past week. MacBook OS X 10.11.2, Safari 9.0.2, USA.

Thank you all for reporting these.

IB will be back at work Monday after the long New Year weekend to look these over.

In the meantime, all posts relating to i-devices (and seemingly some Android driven ones?) and problems with browser hijacking to mobfree.click have been consolidated to http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/techn...s-android.html.

I don't see this problem. Using laptop w/Windows 10.

Further to my message from New Year's Day, the same rogue Flash ad is still causing dozens of security popups to appear in my browser each time a new page is loaded. This is very serious: it appears the ad is attempting to do something nefarious, as shown in the screenshot above.

I am seeing the IHG full page gray out ads in the Marriott forum too. It has been for the last two weeks, but only occurs during the first Marriott forum page per session. OS X 10.11.2 Safari 9.0.2 USA.

I have not seen any other reports of this, which seems to indicate that you have a browser issue. Try running your AV software, and perhaps uninstall/reinstall your browser after clearing your cache and cookies.

It's a Flash issue -- perhaps in combination with Safari. But I've seen it on two separate Macs at this point, so it's vanishingly unlikely to be something related to my specific installation. Please be sure to look at the screenshot I provided.

For the time being I'm not visiting the site on my laptop, so this is the last you'll hear of it from me. Thanks for your help.
