Android pop ups while scrolling that are malware
I have recently been getting a lot of pop ups when logged in BTW, that direct me to saying my Android is infected and needs scanned. This is a form of malware/ spyware and we need to nip the source in the bud. Not good when paying supporters are subject to adds that not even clicked on cause this pop up. Since the recent scrolling issue has caused the viewing to lag the ad may potentially be clicked on. Here is big ? Why do we even have any add here that will produce this type of pop up. I love this forum and gladly am a paid supporter , but I shouldn't have to encounter this ever.

Go to your app section on your phone and download AdBlocker app. I was having the same issues as you. Free download and now I can visit sites without annoying pop ups or bots sending your phone to apps you don't want. Totally changed web browsing 4 me
