Relax, once your phone gets up to speed, the vibration will stop.

It's supposed to vibrate & leak oil when you are on a Harley forum. They all do that.....

I may have to agree with the OP. While browsing on my phone, I randomly get sent to another page. Its always different but a warning window always pops up. The one a little while ago was "islam-aa.something or other". This is the first Ive seen of someone else mentioning it.

I know its not the ****. I only use tablets for that. I need the bigger screen to see whats going on.

ETA: Coincidence, but it happend as soon as I submitted my comment.

I've gotten some crap on the mobile page too. We shouldn't need to download special blockers to browse this site.

This problem lies on the shoulders of the admin here to protect us from malware advertising.

It's just a web page that pops up, not actually a virus. It's a spam page that tries to get you to click a link and download software, not your phone or "google" seeing a virus. Close out your browser and start over. I get the same popup on a few other sites too.

Sounds like a website trying to get you to download something you don't need. HDF isn't giving you a virus, it's just whoever that ad's from is trying to make it look like you have one. I couldn't say for sure without seeing it, though.

I can hardly believe you can get a virus on non-jailbroken iphone (assuming you've got last ios)
