Virus concerns???

The last time I tried to reply the page goes to a ad. Is this normal out here? Once the page opened I couldn't return back to the post. I appreciate any help.

I'm not sure what that means.

A google search will explain all.

Not knowing what operating system or browser you're using it's hard to diagnose anything. I run Windows and for a virus stopper I use Ad Aware by Lavasoft, which I believe is a German company. I use the free version. It's rather unobtrusive and I'm not plagued by virus or strange happenings. I do have to manually check for updates from time to time. I choose not to have it run on a schedule but manually run it every couple of days.

I am experiencing this from my phone. I haven't used the computer yet today. I run Windows 10 there but a Samsung browser here. I was wondering if anyone else is having this issue?

I have never had it happen on TBN but I did have that happen on some other non-related forums before. It would constantly send me to a spammy 'you won an amazon gift card' website and you could not get out of it without closing the window and starting over. Very irritating. It only did that when viewing on my phone (iPhone) though. I did not ever figure out what was causing it but others on that site were also complaining about it. From what I remember the others there thought one of the ads running on the site was not behaving correctly.

Thank you. I appreciate the reply. That is exactly what was happening to me when on my phone. I'm on the computer now. It hasn't happened anywhere else so I thought I should ask. It wouldn't be bad if I could go back but like you it wasn't an option and I had to start over.
