For those using PC's, has the popup issue stopped?

I get an alert about a phishing scheme. Happened for the first time yesterday and again tonight. It pops up as as a new window with the alert. Only occurs when I'm on my desktop and only when I'm on td (at least to this point). I am usually on an iPad or phone when surfing td and have never encountered the issue on either of those devices. Someone posted a screenshot of the alert in my other thread.

When you get the issue again, can you post the link of the page you are on?

I'm starting to think that it isn't a TD issue. I got it when looking for linked gifs on TD. they all came back to the website farkriffic.com which I think a specific poster here uses to host them. I haven't gotten it beyond that one website.

I was google image searching gifs posted on TD. When I clicked on ones hosted by that website, the phishing warning kept popping up. So while it was on TD that it happened, it specifically has to do with that one website.

If you want to try and repeat it, open up chrome, go to google, tab to images, and search for tigerdroppings peej gif. yeah I know it's stupid but I was trying to find Peej gifs.

The ones hosted on farkriffic.com will force the phishing popup. That's why I don't think it's your issue, but rather an issue with farkriffic.

I just tried it again, the first hit was Peej doing something by a dumpster. It popped up on the first one.

No. It doesn't happen on any other website, though.
