Problem with At Home Magazine site?

in Compers chat corner
Over the past week or so I have had an annoying pop up come up occasionally on my iPad when doing competitions I now realise it happens when I click on an "At Home Magazine" competition link.

Has anyone else had this problem?

I reset my safari cache and history but had a pop up appear again just now.

The pop up says something about clicking a link to download an update or claim a prize - the few I have seen have been different but have same fonts and layout.

I worried I had a virus but understand that iPads can't get viruses

Any comments anyone?

    Have had the same and also realised it was when I clicked onto the At Home site. Would like to know why, I am on a Samsung Tablet.

    At least it means it is something wrong with that site rather than a virus or something on our tablets/computers.

    Just searched to see if anyone else is having problems on this site and it appears you are! I have had the same but also chat site pop-up with 'graphic' images. This is when using my Samsung tab.

    At home has been fine for me, I have been having Woman problems again though...






















    Not my love life :) I mean logging into Woman magazine, which usually takes several attempts.

    Next time you get the message, try refreshing the page. I usually find doing this tells me I am logged in.
