    It's just happened again. It is definitely the ads because I wasn't even doing anything this time. As far as I can see, the ads are the only content that automatically updates so for it to happen after a period of not even reading it, it must be the ads.

    Still only happens on GC.

      I don't know anything about smart phones and very little about computers but those look like Spam or Phishing attacks. :noidea: Maybe @Webmaster should see your screenshots.

      Thanks for the screenshots, it helps when I have to contact Google, if I have something I can send over.

      It's just happened again .

      This time, it tried to go to a different page.

      T dot mobileadstracker dot com / click.

      Obviously I've spelled it out rather than posting a link, because the link is malicious. I just thought it might be useful when flogging the dead horse that is trying to get Google to do anything .
