Just in the last few days, I keep getting the Mac Keeper pop up on here.....Problem is, it wont go back or forward. It is only on this site....Cant read anything. Does it on my wifes MacBook, my iMac, and my daughters MacBook air.... So now Im on my company laptop and it works fine. Just a pain in the ***.

I found this article. https://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-mackeeper-popup-ads/#uninstallAlso let me know if you get it by visiting http://sixpackspeak.com which is the homepage. That will help me track down which advertising network is causing the problem.
DS, I was getting it when going directly to this forum page. I had ad and script blocking turned off on Brave browser (Chrome offshoot), and was getting redirected every time. Cleared cache and cookies, re-enabled ad and script blocking, and it stopped re-directing to that Mac malware.

I use my phone to check the boards now. Surprised that people still use a PC or Mac...

If you switch to mobile view at the bottom it stops the redirecting to BookKeeper. Only problem is you have to use mobile view.

Not really. The text on a phone is too small to read comfortably without enlarging and then scrolling. And typing on a real keyboard (e.g., MacBook) is about a million times easier than on a phone. That may assume that one knows how to type though. No way a person can do 70 wpm on a phone, or even an iPad.

The ad network made some adjustments on Tuesday. Let me know if you are still receiving this.

Not using a MacBook, just a Dell laptop...have been getting Verizon and AT&T popups stating I won something for the past few days. Checked my computer, nada. Something is up. FYI.
