I keep getting warnings from my router that it's protected me from a malicious website, EVERY time I try to use the "mobile" version of the website - it's absolutely awful.

I'm visiting from Android - today I tried again and I got the most heinous awful ad where it said "you have a virus", made some nasty noise, had some shitty count down timer, and when I tried to close it it brought me to the Play Store for a page to buy an Anti Virus app, when I close that, it brings me back to the "Virus" web page, endless cycle, ad nauseum - who makes these adds and, how can we smack them in the face with thousands of flaming bags of dog shit? Prison would be too good for these shit stains on the human race.
Here are some screenshots:

Thanks for the details and screenshots, Christopher. These rogue ads have become a big problem on the web as a whole, so much so that Wired recently wrote an article about the issue. We're continuing to explore various options to fix them, and I hope to have good news on that front soon.
In the meantime, there is a workaround for Android users like yourself. Google is building a blocker into Chrome that specifically targets these types of ads. You can enable its beta right now by going to the following URL in your phone's Chrome browser and changing the highlighted dropdown to "Enabled": chrome://flags/#enable-framebusting-needs-sameorigin-or-usergesture
In recent months the pop ups have become unbearable (Android, Chrome). I would be redirected away from Acurazine any and every time I used it. It would always be some kind of scam, ie you've won something. I would have to close the browser and start from scratch.
Today though I have been browsing on my phone for about 15 minutes and haven't been interrupted yet. I recently saw a story about a long-awaited update to Chrome to fix issues like I was facing here.
I know this isn't a solution for everyone but for up-to-date Android and Chrome users, AZ is working fantastically with no pop ups now.
Hi everyone,
I haven’t been on Azine in some time but I look at some of the threads from time to time. Anyway, I was looking today and saw what you have going on here. It can be tough for the Admins to block these pop ups without having the full URL (which can also be difficult to get when your screen is locked up with the pop up). Anyway, I’m on Spyderchat.com since I own an MR2 Spyder (my 06 TL is my brother’s car now) and using an iPad, I’ve had similar issues there. It’s mostly with the chrome app and also sometimes on Safari. What I’ve had to do is unload and reload chrome when it gets locked up and since that’s a pain, I now use the app called AdBlock Browser, which is free on the App Store (not sure if they have it for Android). The app author is Eyeo GmbH and the symbol for it is a half stop sign in red on the left and an earth on the right with the stop sign covering the left half of the earth. It works very well and blocks those annoying pop ups. I actually prefer it over safari and chrome. On Spyderchat, they’re trying to get the ads blocked but so far have been unsuccessful, so this browser has worked well.
Thanks for letting us know, thoiboi. We're implementing a new ad filter in the coming days that will block these rogue pop-ups before they can even reach your device.
This one keeps popping up.
Unlike previous ads, you can't seem to go back a few pages, it redirects so many times that I need to close the window and open AZ again in a new tab.
Thanks for the screenshot, Costco. Can you send me another one or two as you continue to see the issue? I just want to see if there's any shared traits between them, such as URL or the wording of the ad.
I can certainly appreciate the desire for an ad-free experience, but the ads displayed across the site help to foot the bill for the upkeep of AcuraZine. That said, we do limit the number of ads for members. As long as you remain logged into your account, you should see fewer ads.
