  Hello,

  I have a WordPress hosted site and today when users are navigating from a FB page where I have posted a link to my latest blog post, they are getting pop ups about becoming a beta tester for ios 8 from “sylvanwins.cricket”

  I only use the web based editor to created by blag pages and dont have any WP software installed on my computer to make the blog posts.

  I have got the same issue when I have navigated to the site via FB as well as someone else who has sent me screen shots.

  Does anyone know how to fix this?

  Thanks,
  Andrea

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  From what you say, I understand this is occurring on an iPhone? Please see this earlier forum thread and follow the instructions given by @kokkieh (Staff) https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/pop-up-spam?replies=4#post-2966126

  Also, for more info see https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-8771 and https://dowser.org/your-apple-iphone-is-infected-by-6-viruses-remove/

  I also suggest that you install an antivirus app on your phone if you don’t already have one.

  This is brilliant – thank you. I have given that a go and gone through the same routine that caused the issue and it has happened again.

  Really useful and quick response – thank you!
