Hi guys,

ive started getting these pops appear over the last few weeks.

Anyone else get them or seen them ?

They are called airpush ads.
Cause is usually malware downloaded from another ad or website.
Using an app such as Malware Bytes can detect and remove them for you.

Thank you. Never heard of Airpush ads. Thought my phone had got a Virus, at least I haven’t got to take it to Apple.
I’ve searched Malware Bytes and it brings up Adblock browser and Bitdefender central are these close to what I would want ?

Thanks MI5

Tell him not to click ok as it will subscribe him to a £4.50 a week charge, for nothing!
