A new annoying popup

This popped up just now on my Google pixel phone.
It seemed to get better for a while and I could write posts but it's back again.
I've not clicked on it apart from taking this screenshot.

Grammaretto

I've had it several times. Also perhaps a separate issue, the screen freezes half sentence.
I shall try writing several short posts, before the horrid red and white pop up comes 🫪

Same happening to me

Yes, that's what I've got, only on GN on my Kindle. Nuisance!

This popped up while looking on the good morning thread.

I’m finding it very difficult to use Gransnet at the moment, I too have the same ad, the pages are freezing too. If I try and type the page disappears, it’s like the screen is too sensitive. Hope you can sort it asap.

Forgot to add I am using an android mobile phone.

Another one! Not seen this before, I also have problems with the screen freezing.

I’ve had the AV one a few times. Keeps telling me my phone (it’s my iPad) is infected with viruses.
I just X it.

I've lost a post 3 times this morning. I'm using my laptop now to see if its any better.

I’ve only just realised it only happens on gransnet.

Not here at all. Is it because it's a Mac in my case with anti virus stuff? May just be chance.

Atm it's changing between a my brand car advert and male shirts with an octupus on. Oh, now it's a don't slip in the shower one: well, thats standard oldie stuff so OK.

It's that firm beginning with a T 4 letter word endless cheap and dodgy stuff that keeps coming on that drives me spare.

Unfortunately I had clicked on the T one to look see once or twice so will stop that.

Aggh cremations.

I have had these as well. Only on Gransnet.

It’s tedious . Google suggests clearing cache - long instructions and I’m gardening instead. My worry is inadvertently pressing a button when closing it down, that means I’m on a subscription

It takes over even if you're not logged in.

Only on gransnet and often the instant you press gransnet

Just before both of them a brief ‘pop up blocked (1)’ message.

So did mine Jacjacky but I wasn’t quick enough

It’s still happening. Very annoying

Its meaning people aren’t posting as they lose what they’re typing, happened three times today already.

I have had the antivirus ad pop up four times just now. I take it that GNHQ are still trying to get rid of it.

Ive had it twice just now its bloody annoying.

Me too I thought it was me.

This just popped up while looking at Good Morning thread. Oppo Android phone. Time on the screen shot.
