    Keeping getting malware warnings when browsing this site.
    Last night every time I was on this site it kept taking me away to download some game.
    Anyone else getting this ?

    No problems here on the ipad, it might be worth letting people know what your using to see if others have no problems on the same system or vise versa.

    I keep getting diverted to porn sites.............sorry that's because i search for them ;)

    On a serious note, I did not have the problem, could it perhaps depend on what browser people are using ? I use mozilla.

    I was getting the self same thing on some Facebook pages. Whenever I navigated to them, it bounced me back to the App Store and some role playing game. That was using the iPad Facebook app. Like Martin, I switched off the Java to stop it.

    This usually caused by dodgy adverts... and turning java off will stop them from being able to run and redirect you. Any advert provider of any integrity should spot them quickly and stop serving them up

    iPad seems unaffected on all the browser I have on it. Still get the error warning pop up when I navigate to settings but that's all it does.

    Have you tried removing all your unwanted cookies? I've found in the past using a tool like CCleaner improves the situation massively (that is assuming your problem IS being caused by suspect ads)

    I noticed it when at work using Opera Browser.
    It came up alongside the address bar saying Malaware Warning.
    Last night I was on iPad when I kept being diverted to the App Store.

    Chrome on Windows 7 is not complaining and I run 2 AV apps. Saying that the chrome extensions I have may be blocking it.
