Every other time I come here on my phone, I get a pop-up that I can't back out of. I have to completely close the Tab and start over. WTF Yahoo?!!
Can we please get rid of the BS Wal-Mart virus on this site?!!

Happens to me on a number of sites. I think you're better off clearing our your cache/history to help with this problem.
Don't have any problem with any other sites but this one. Rarely do I ever get pop-ups like this irritating Wal-Mart pop-up.
I’m still waiting for my free WalMart gift cards to arrive in the mail.
I get Amazon pop ups, it's only on my phone. Happens on multiple sites. I'm hoping there is a way to solve it other than going full factory reset.
I get porn site popups and alcohol adds. I'm sure they're just guessing....
It might be that your phone is compromised. Run a good AV scanner on it, clear cache, cookies, etc
This.
I have never seen pop-ups from this site and I haven't seen adds for months since I installed ad blockers on my phone and pc.
I only use this site on my phone and I've never had a popup ad
It doesn't mean you aren't compromised. My phone doesn't get it. Like others said- get an ad blocker
shouldnt, your web pages might load slighly slower (hardly noticable) because it filters out the garbage. I get Zero popups and Zero ads on this site or any other for that matter.
I rarely come here on my computer. Almost always on my phone. Is CCleaner the best for phones?
I believe they have adblock for phones too. I dont use phones for internet often. I have a computer in every room of the house plus a laptop. So i wouldnt be the best source for that info. I believe Chrome and Opera for mobile both have an adblock extension you can download for mobile device. I know i use it on PC Chrome + Adblock
Did a quick google search by typing "Adblock Android" and this came up:

apparently adblockplus makes a browser for android, i didnt google iphone but i am sure if you type "adblock iphone" similar results would happen. Just a guess.

@Hoosker Du i looked up for iphone and they ahve an adblock of sorts by one of the 2 most reputable adblock producers as well. Battery on the phone shouldnt be any different, shouldnt be running anything in the background should only run well on android it is a stand alone browser so obviously unless the browser is open and loading a page then it is being used.
Adblock just filters out certain scripts when loading a page, it isnt something that is constantly running.
I hope the enlargement ones in my spam are guessing too, and not the wife’s suggestion
Adblock, Adblock plus are 2 different developers. I have used both Adblock and Adblock plus. Adblock is offered by "getadblock.com" Adblock plus is good too. Either should take care of ya.
Have the same problem when I go to Journal Star site of which I don't subscribe to. Think journal does it to make you subscribe to. Never happen
