Default Google virus phishing scam?

Recently I’ve been getting an obviously bogus alert that my iPhone is infected. It only happens on this site. I’ve cleared history and cookies and it goes away for a while but comes back. Anyone know how to keep this away for good?

I’ve been getting them for a while. I just clear all the cookies and history. After that, I’ll start using chrome or safari.

When it starts on whatever browser I’m using, I’ll just go through it again.

All the high tech **** is nothing more than a high capacity PITA as far as I’m concerned, be it on phones, bikes or whatever.

I just installed adblocker. We will see if that works. Gotta have extra protection when you come to HDF.

My experience today reminds me of being 17.

This is only on my iphone.
I tried clearing history, comes right back. I tried using chrome instead of safari, worked for a short time, and came back.
It is only on this site, so it has something to do with HDF.
