it only happens when I am on Texags.
sometimes it's just one & other times it's multiple pop ups.

Is this happening to anyone else?
How can i make it stop?

Looks like it is happening to a lot of people.

It does it if the page is just sitting doing nothing. I can leave my screen and come back two hours later and there's a huge ad.

It's a scam. It isn't McAfee at all

For what it's worth, I'd love to blacklist their IP addresses on our network. Unfortunately, they are using multiple sources and I would have to block them all.

And if I block them, it will probably turn out that they are using Cloudflare and so iI would likely be blocking thousands or tens of thousands or more legitimate sites. I tried that here before and it failed miserably.

Ublock Origin or use the Brave browser.

No more problems.

I don't see it
- Firefox with Ublock Origin
- pihole running in the house
- Ad Guard DNS

Glad it's not just me. I killed my pay VPN service and just using the built-in browser so figured that might be it.
