While reading threads (and occasionally on the front page of this forum) I get messages on my work laptop from Firefox to download critical updates (from a well-done spoof site), a notice on my home PC from Edge that Flash Player is out of date (another spoof site), and notifications on my iPhone that I've won something.

Please, someone clean up whatever it is that's letting this stuff through.

Are you using a tablet, laptop, desktop or phone? Trying to help narrow it down.

All but a tablet.

Win10 on both laptop and PC if that helps, although I would think browser would matter more....Chrome doesn't seem to trip anything like Firefox, Edge, and the iPhone 6S do.

I think the frequency is higher on the laptop/desktop. The combination of new windows/faux errors that I hit yesterday on the laptop was particularly potent. I had to kill Firefox through Task Manager and then avoid multiple "error" pages on the crash recovery list.

I only use chrome and 99% of the time it's on an iPhone and I've never once gotten anything, if that helps any.

Go drop a $100 on a Walmart clearance laptop or tablet and browse your heart away on your new Hugh burner. It'll become infested but it's a burner anyways
