    Thanks. That makes sense since it’s on and off affecting sites everywhere. What’s kind of malicious is that when it jacks your page, and you’re at the redirected website, you can’t back out to the page you were on.

    So here’s a screenshot....now it’s a google prize And here’s the thing - this is a completely different device that has no connection to the other device I was having a problem with. Doesn’t this eliminate my devices as the source of the problem? Making it more at a server or level NOT at my...

    I’ll screenshot it the next time I get it. Can’t believe I’ve got malware. That’s never happened to me before on a an IOS device. Windows and Android yes, but first time on iOS in years of using.

    I generally, but not always, view these pages from an iOS device. The last couple of days a fake Amazon contest bubble has popped up 3 or 4 times and taken over the page, redirecting me to a fake contest winner page. Necessitating me to close that page and open the real CIS page again in...
