Just got a weird ad popup

@temery I just got a weird ad popup on this site that looked like a Trojan Horse. It claimed I had a virus, presented itself as McAfee, and asked me to do a scan of the laptop. You are just using Google ads, right?

I apologize for not saving a screen shot. I will do it if it happens again.

Happens to me a couple times a year. It's most likely an over reactive malware program reading a site script as something it's not.

Screen captures help. The url - even better. I can ban urls.

'That's not a pop up. It's a sidebar ad that shouldn't show up on a phone, but every once in a while does. Or a double mobile ad. If it happens often, let me know.

It happens often.

It happens often.

I need to see a screen capture of the actual ad.

I need to see a screen capture of the actual ad.

The next time it happens, I'll post one here, but it appears to be different ads.

I updated the ad script. Might help.
