I have a S3 and randomly get redirected to purchase antivirus and a website saying I have a virus. I haven't noticed it on other sites but I mainly use TD mobile on my phone. I've ran a trusted security app on my phone and found nothing. Anyone else having this issue?

I keep getting redirected to the App Store from the OT on mobile. It's quite irritating.

I've been getting a popup page saying "web forgery" and one that says I need to update which is a virus thing only on TD for weeks now. I've reported it a number of times with no reply. It's terribly annoying. I just got the webpage forgery thing 3 times in a row going in and out of threads or switching pages.

I've been on plenty of other sites with no issues. It's only this site. A few others have reported it also. I'm on a laptop, though. I haven't gotten anything on mobile.

Is this a popup warning from your browser or anti-virus? Does it provide a url that is blocked?

An entire new window opens. I can copy and paste the address next time it happens.

google "open software updater". It seems to be some sort of malware that might be loaded on your computer.

Thanks. It didn't show up in multi scans, but I'll take a look.

Is it odd for the malware to be associated with only one website? It never pops up on any others.

Same thing on my phone. It just does it sometimes though.
