Admin, please alert proboards and disable the adverts on the forum. There are infected adverts causing malicious pop ups and background software installations for users.

Browsing on my phone and I've had three apps try to install and a Ladbrokes installation file downloaded in the background this morning.
(sadly not from visiting anywhere else!)

Are you browsing in the mobile version or the desktop version on your phone?
And is this android or iOS?

Hi Dave,
Android phone using the mobile site. I've done a test by installing an ad blocker into chrome and the ad injections stop so it's definately the ads at the footer of the mobile site. I get the issues when using the standard browser built into the phone
Cheers.

There have been problems in the past with page links launching porn sites. The issue seemed to be connected to the mobile version of the site on iPads back then. It might be worth switching to the pro boards app if you're on a phone

We've brought this up with Proboards, but with it being a weekend and a match day you may have to bear with us/them.

Nobody is paid ANY bucks to run this site. It actually costs money to run it. This site generates a grand total of £0.00 in income for those running it.
Just thought that should be cleared up before anyone mistakes your attempt at humour as being serious!

If nobody gets paid to run it then why on earth are you all not using adblock? No idea about IOS but there's loads of adblocking browsers for android, i'm all for showing fair ads but when they're obnoxious and linking to questionable sites they can get stuffed

Dave/Smudge Cheers guys hopefully proboards will sort it sooner rather than later.
liamo I have adblock plus running on desktop and laptops but I have a fetish for the stock browser on android - its stupid I know but the android chrome and firefox browsers are unintuitive compared to their desktop alternatives so I default to using the stock browser and this issue appears from time to time. Its Google's fault really for allowing ads on their admob network which enable autorun scripts - they really shouldn't - that said proboards could protect their users like the Oatcake (especially as probably one of their main source of income) - Dave/Smudge don't earn money from this site but proboards certainly do and making their ad display code tighter would be a proper fix.

It's still happening on android chrome. Earlier this morning it was taking me to google play to install Uber which was annoying rather than harmful.
However, it just downloaded a 34MB apk for something claiming to be Ladbrokes betting. The thing I learned is that it doesn't seem possible to cancel downloads on my phone. Brilliant stuff.
I will be taking a break until this gets sorted.
