  Help please. I am getting pop up ads on my WordPress.com site that are disabling the site. Ad seems to be for Asda vouchers. My site is lizzierunning.wordpress.com and the problem seems to be happening when accessed from Android.

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

  I don’t see those popups when accessing your site from Android. So it seems your phone has been corrupted. Install the free version of Malwarebytes and run a scan, that should pick up the malware and remove it.

  Thanks, but it’s not happening on my phone (Android), but seems to be intermittent on others. Some people can access it fine, others are getting the ads.

  The fact some people see it and others don’t, indicates the problem is not on the site but with Android. Best advice is those people install the free version of Malwarebytes and run a scan, that should pick up the malware and remove it.

  More and more people reporting it now. I really don’t think it’s a phone issue…
