Virus alerts

[Genov]

Anyone else getting pop up virus alerts on this site?

It has happened to me 5 or 6 times now. I click on a thread, and a virus scan pops up?

On my iPhone using google. On New Posts, tried to select several posts, and virus threat popped up each time. I’ll take some screenshots if it happens again.

Thanks,

Two or three times while using my phone but nothing on the desktop.
Noticed it says something about a 'scan' before I shut the Safari browser down. When I reopen Safari the 'scan' is gone and everything is back to normal.

Yesterday I kept getting McAfee related warnings, virus alerts, 'scan now' pop-ups using Firefox on my Dell laptop. I eventually turned off Firefox notifications. I blamed it on a Yelp site that I visited but AK was open in the background.
