Malware pop up not detected

[helloball]

Not sure what this is known as, but it is not detected during browsing, which is when it pops up. Please see screen shot attached. Suggestions?

It happened to me too a few months ago - several times.

I don't remember exactly if I went on once and see what would happen by clicking 'OK' or not but I remember I decided it was to be ignored - and I did it.

I used the 'go back' function to move away from the shown screen.

Then I closed all browsing windows and started them again to finish my work.

After a few times it stopped showing - and everything was perfectly alright ;-)

Hi helloball,

These types of ads are browser related. This is caused by the way most browsers handle redirections executed by javascript code.  Most browsers don't do a great job of preventing these redirects, which also cause ad pop-ups.  Advertising affiliates are aware of this, and exploit this weakness.  Even if an  advertising affiliate is shut down for using this exploit, they just come back with a different affiliate id and are right back at it.

The best way to block these pop-ups are to try a different browsers, disable javascript, install a browser with ad blocking (like Opera), and/or install Ad-block Plus.

If you encounter these pop-ups again, back out of them using Android's back key. Also, clearing your history and cache will help stop the ads from reoccurring.
