Amazon Pop-Ups: How To Stop The Madness?

4Q Basket Case · Oct 14, 2018

OK, I've been getting interminable pop-ups advertising $1,000 Amazon card, if I just answer a few questions. I know it's a scam, so I don't answer any of them. Trouble is, I can't back out. Have to shut down the browser (IE), and start gain.

I've tried clearing out my history, and it works until the next time I sign in, and the madness starts again.

Any thoughts on how I can avoid this?

Been having the same problems. Apple said it has something to do with ads. I talked with Brett, but he said it probably isn’t website related. I’ve tried everything as well, so if anyone knows a solution, let us know.

Malwarebytes may work for you. I'm not sure if the free version has it, but the paid version will search out PUPs" (potentially unwanted programs) like that. If you like IE, I presume you'll upgraded to version 11? The earlier versions are insecure...

I run two. They pretty stop it also...

It's to the point I can't acecss from my phone now whether mobile or full site using chrome (since safari is broken already). And other popups are starting to appear as well. It ONLY happens on TideFans so it seems site related.

PS mcaffee did not help at all.

Free version of malwarebytes stopped the popups and still got a rollover or redirect once but not since in the few minutes i've had it installed.

And today it's back to the same even with malwarebytes.

Any more experiencing this?

I haven’t had problems with it in several days. Not sure why it just stopped, but it did.

I’m still having issues....it seems it’s only occurring with my iPhone. My iPhone supposedly has pop ups blocked, this is the only pop up that is getting by.

I have the same issues. But only when using a mobile device. No issues on my Mac. And it is only on Tidefans.

Only on my ipad and iphone. Laptop ok.
