We are aware of the issue but haven't tracked it down yet. Are you guys using desktop version of the site while on your phones?

It happened to me last night for the first time in a week or two, and I was on the mobile version of the site.

The pattern seems to be Samsung Android users.

But this is the only site I ever get the popups on, so it can't be a virus.

For the past couple weeks or so TD has been downloading some kinda malware when I visit. I clear the cache on Chrome browser (mobile website only) and it's fine until I visit TD again. Then the browser gets hijacked again. Seems like this has happened every 6 months or so before it goes away. I suppose it's an issue the server providers have to deal with?

Yes. This morning I deleted all cache, history, saved password, auto fill data, etc... And I updated my phone and restarted it and reinstalled chrome.

I'll let you know if it happens again.

The more I'm reading on this company. It seems like they found a back door into Chrome on Android. They say "a pop-up blocker proof way to display ads" issue is the ads seem so sketchy.
It's not really Wal-Mart or amazon is it?
Everything is to divert you to the play store.
