Thanks everyone, our team are working frantically to figure this out, but as noted in the meantime, GarageTalk is a decent alternative: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/gara...964719306?mt=8

It’s getting worse for me.
i can also no longer see what I’m typing on my iPad, as it stays up out of view.
what’s next?

I stopped visiting Rennlist with my I pad. I can't even get 2 minutes. Yes I tried everything suggested above, no love.

I use Safari on my iMac - with adblocker, I never see that annoying pop-up. Apparently the problem is that the malware is embedded in an ad and advertisers won't react between Christmas and New Years. Damn.

They should just pull all the ads then, until they can fix it.

I still get a spam message every time I visit Rennlist on an Android device. A popup that takes over the browser and says my devices needs to install some virus protection (Click OK being the only option). These types of spam aren't just annoying, they often inject a virus!

Are you using Chrome on an Android device? This is not our site, but nefarious advertisers taking advantages of weaknesses in the Android OS/Chrome.

you can go this URL in your browser and change the highlighted option to "Enabled": CHROME and that will prevent this from happening in the future.

Yes, Chrome on Android.
I realize it isn't Rennlist, but the ads being served.
I did go to that URL on both my devices, and set that to enabled, and that did help. Thanks.
How many people unwittingly click on that crap though?

I'm getting it - only on Rennlist, and only on ipad and iphone. No pop-up on PC. really annoying. I cleared website history cookies, etc. not working.
