Hi. My friends viewed my wordpress on their phones and it immediately redirected their url to a page that popped up and said that their phones now had 6 viruses. I’m confused and am using this for professional uses and don’t want employers to have viruses pop up.

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

They could have viruses on their own browsers or devices. I don’t get that message when I click. Tell them to run a security scan.

Hi –

Like timethief, I do not see the redirect. I’ve asked our ads team to take a closer look though and make sure there’s no issues with the ads on the site.

Another possibility is that your friend has mistyped the URL, if you misspell the ‘wordpress’ portion of the site address you can sometimes land on some weird pages.
