This time, it gives the addresss as: http://linkadsz.com/show.php?c=walmart-3&p=181a4daac65c52341c27c54b9b2be890&subid=X8030067401492358947374439&t=1492358947
See what you can do.

I saw it too. I think it coming from one of the googleasservices or googlelead ads.
Something like that happened on another site I was on , they have those google ads that rotates through showing different companies ads.
one of the companies ads that was in the ad rotation had a virus. Whenever you came on the page and that particular ad was shown your antivirus would say there was a virus on the page.
Since it's in the ad rotation, thats why it doesn't show up sometimes.

I looked into this one and couldn't get it to reproduce. As Aloarjr810 mentioned, this is probably an infected ad from Google AdSense or Criteo which are the two ad platforms we use on BallReviews. Unfortunately, an infected ad is hard to track down since they could be using targeting to offer it to users that don't match my criteria which would keep me from seeing it. These ads, when they do slip through the cracks, are usually active for a short period of time before the ad network catches them and drops the ads. But, as with so many things on the web, that often just means they pop back up with another account. We are looking at our ad accounts to see what we can do to lessen the chances for these types of ads to get in and we'll continue trying to find a solution since we despise this stuff just like you guys.

Oh for gods sake that popup just wont stop

Thank you for reporting the issue Aloarjr810. I was able to recreate and trace the issue back to the ad platform. We have disabled their ads on our system and will be reporting the issue to them. If you see the issue again please let me know but that "should" take care of it for now.

Thats great!

I’m getting slammed with these on my iPhone every time I come to the site lately.

Ditto, plus on another message board I go to (for the Phillies)

I have been and am attempting to reproduce the issue but I haven't gotten one yet (not saying it isn't happening, just that I haven't gotten it yet so I can report it to our ad partners).

Typically I only see it when I'm on my iphone or ipad.

Yea, I've been testing only on those devices. Just haven't gotten the ad to come up yet.

I'm still getting it on my IPhone.
