I'm getting unwanted Nortan virus scan pop-upson my new Samsungs24ultra phone. I do not have a Norton subscription and it appearsas a scam. It's starting I have viruses however I have the McAfee subscription that scans my device and it's clear. This Norton pop up comes randomly and frequently when I'm playing Words With Friends 2 that I have been playing for several years. I have disabled pop ups, attempted to block this site which is (logaudit.icu) to no avail. I have disabled Chrome and Samsung internet as well and it still pop up. How can I remove this permanently?
I have the same problem, and I bet thousands of other WWFs players do, too. It doesn't act like an ad. It opens tab after tab - dozens - warning you of viruses and trying to get you to click on a phishing link. The problem only occurs when using the WWF2 app. I, too, have run a virus scan on my phone, and it comes back negative. Would like to report the problem to WWF, but there doesn't seem to be a way. They are about to lose my patronage.
I hate that it's happening to multiple people, but I'm glad to know it's not just my issue. I will try to reach to Zynga who owns that gaming app, if they can't address it I will have to stop the app which I hate to bcuz I've been playing for about 15 years and will lose my progress.
Same problem here - Norton ads being generated by Words With Friends 2. Suspect it's rogue code in the game. These are not the usual ads shown after a game is complete.
To all my issue appears to be resolved by Zynga owners of WWF2. I reached out to their customer support and advised of the Norton pop up issues, someone from their team reached back out and stated they reset my gaming app and told me to force stop and reopen the app and I have not received a pop up since. Additionally, they will be checking into the overall issue because I stated that it appears to happen to multiple people.
It depends on where the pop-ups are coming from. If they are coming in your internet browser, there should be an option in the privacy settings to block pop up ads. If they are coming from an app you installed, uninstall the app. Also, go to settings/security and privacy/app security and turn on app protection.
Also, if you are going to attach your query to a year old, solved post, at least read the responses prior to posting. If none of the responses solve your issue, create a new post of your own.
