    Anyone else getting a pop up “Virus Warning” on pages on their Android phone?  I got one yesterday and today from the Road.cc website.

    morning all. how’s everyone

    morning all. how’s everyone getting on with the ads? a few things have changed since the end of last week that should have knocked at least most of the random ads out. keep us updated if you’re still seeing them

    And the Bristol Post website has loads of adverts as well.

    I find Firefox, NoScripts and AdBlock does the trick. Luckly it also prevents the comments loading on Bristol Post.

    You have to be honest here. You guys must be employing the lower end of the ad serve market to have shit like this appearing on your site.

    it’s a constant process and

    it’s a constant process and we’re working with our ad supplier to weed them out. there’s a couple of things that we’re implementing over the next few weeks that should have an effect. the reports really do help us, so please keep reporting ads if and when you see them

    I’d suggest Road.cc revisit

    I’d suggest Road.cc revisit their advertising partner / platform. Appreciating that a living needs to be made, it appears that the website has little to no control as to what adverts are being placed on the site.
