'Facebook' pop-up window crashes Safari on iPhone

iPhone 5 s. IOS older. IPhone woman.

Safari opens and is blocked by a window that pretends to "you have been selected for a special offer" and completely blocks use Safari except when we click to override the window. It's from a source of 'Facebook' 123 blah blah.

IPhone stop and restart does not get rid of it. Safari is now unusable until you get in front of this infamous window.

Is this some sort of malware Installer? I suppose it's at least a scam.

What is the right thing to do and how to do these things target iPhones?

Go to settings / tap Safari / choose Remove history and Web site data

If this doesn't help not your router can be hacked.  See check instructions on this page: http://www.thesafemac.com/how-to-manage-a-hacked-wireless-router/

  • I clicked ok for a "you have won" pop - up of my safari on my Iphone...

    I clicked ok for a "you have won" pop - up of my safari. Immediately, I realized my mistake and closed the page.  I woke the next morning to find an email from my yahoo email user name but a different domain address.  I then found my Facebook application to redirect me to the same ad "you have won".   I cleared my history of brower and then changed my password for my email and Facebook. Then I discovered my contacts in my yahoo address book got emails also.  I have since made a factory reset on my phone and started a new e-mail address. Is this enough? Could there be a virus on my Iphone 6?  Do I need to worry about my apple account and bank accounts?

    The only way that a virus can infect an iPhone is if it was jailbroken and I doubt that you have done this. Otherwise no virus. You have taken the correct steps of deletion of your data and the browser history and change passwords. I would like to change the password for your account Apple and if your bank accounts use the same PW or you bank details in your emails I would change the PWs Bank also. There is nothing to lose to.

    About the incident, two things come to mind. First the pop up. If everything you did is, click on it and entered any information, then they got nothing. Simply, they planted a cookie in your browser that you deleted by deleting the history and data. Second, your e-mail account. Your e-mail may have been compromised (I do not see how by just the pop up if you don't have all the data, it could be a coincidence) OR a person you know and has you in their address book of pirate computer e-mail. It is easy to steal e-mail addresses and send emails to contacts that appear to come from you.

    After changing the PWs I would just keep an eye on your bank accounts. E-mails unwanted or pop ups are not a concern at this point, just don't click the links or enter any info...  Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • A lot of pop-up windows and sticking in the browser behavior

    Have weird ads via safari and chrome. A lot of popup displays in any browser and also a few become clickable buttons disabled and typing becomes almost impossible through any program that uses the web. When you are not running any browser, everything works perfectly fine.

    Recently, my brother was received by an irritating contextual advertising on his Mac. I guided through the steps to remove, so I'll repeat it here.

    Pop-up ads are advertisements that open above or below the window of your browser, in another tab, or as a graphic element in the current window. Sometimes they refuse to leave the same when you try to close.

    If these ads appear, DO NOT give type of important information about your Apple ID, credit cards, etc. If an ad does not close, it's almost certainly a scam after your money.

    To get rid of adware, begin by closing pop-ups that are open. If a window pop up on your Mac includes a checkbox "don't show alerts more since this Web page", check the box before you close the pop-up window. If a window closes (like in the case of my brother) close Safari on

    your Mac.

    Restart the web browser on your Mac that you hold down the SHIFT key. This prevents the reopening Safari automatically all the windows.

    Then, choose Preferences from the Safari menu, and then follow these steps:

    • Click on the security icon, and select "Block pop-up windows" to stop certain types of pop-ups.
    • Check the settings of your homepage and search engine. Sometimes adware changes these settings.
    • Click the general icon and make sure the homepage field is empty or contains the Web site you want.
    • Click on the search icon and make sure that the setting of search engine displays your favorite search engine. In some versions of Safari, this parameter is in the general pane.

    If you still have problems, or just want to check your Mac occasionally for adware - download app in sandbox "Dr. Safetry" in the App Store. It's free for domestic use clean adware, in addition to malware including trojans.

Allow this makes it difficult to play of Facebook games like farmville, because I have to allow him every time, and I have to type in rather than it to automatically. Thank you, Jamie

    Do not remove the navigation, search and download history on Firefox to clear the "Site preferences".

  • How can I make a window in safari be my default window

    The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.

    Difficulty of pop-ups in browser that support Safari.

    Common pop - ups include a message saying that the Government has taken over your computer and you pay release (often called "Moneypak"), or a false message saying that your computer has been infected and you need to call a number of tech support (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it to be resolved. First of all, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and that your computer has not been assigned. This "hack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so don't pay not money, call number, or provide personal information. This article will give an overview of the solution to remove the pop-up window.

    Quit Safari

    Usually, these pop-ups will not go by clicking 'OK' or 'Cancel '. In addition, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in grey, including the option to leave Safari. You'll probably force quit Safari. To do this, press command + option + ESC, select Safari, press on force quit.

    Relaunch Safari

    If you restart Safari, the page will reopen. To avoid this, hold the "Shift" key when opening Safari. This will prevent windows since the last time that Safari was running since the reopening.

    It will not work in all cases. The SHIFT key must be maintained at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window is displayed again. In these circumstances, after force quit Safari, turn off Wi - Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then restart Safari normally. He'll try to reload the malicious Web page, but without a connection, it will not be able to. Leave this page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com and try to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet and the page that you entered is displayed rather than the malicious.

    Often, we see crashes as a result of a program from loading at startup.

    To solve these, we use the clean boot troubleshooting.

    In the last month or two (January-February of 2013), this pop - up black and semi-transparent appeared whenever I go to full screen in the game battle Pirates on facebook.

    After several iterations, this confirmation request has become completely useless and nothing more than a gene unwelcome.

  • Opening of session of Sierra produced several pop-up windows

    Since the upgrade to Sierra a series of pop-up windows appears right after the desktop appears.  One is a settings dialog box "analysis of the PC" apparently linked to the Canon MX920 we use, even if the printer/Scanner sharing is disabled in system preferences.

    A second pop-up window is an error Java SDK chronic also appeared after the initial upgrade of El Capitan.  This popup is displayed regardless of the question of whether Java is updated to the latest rev, or once the Pref window disappears completely in the system preferences panel.

    The windows popup to third and following related to the parameters of the firewall for "openinfo" network connections, "openexec" and "openbase.  These popups appear even if the settings of the firewall have been set to 'Allow' or 'Block' inbound network traffic for each of them... and for "openbase" even once the OpenBase Pref Pane has been removed from the System Prefs.  In addition, they appear even after the firewall has been disabled.

    The next update of Sierra should address these errors as soon as POSSIBLE or we will return to Yosemite.

    Changing the settings of firewall to block all incoming connections eliminates the popups mentioned in the third paragraph above.

    The "Scan of the PC Settings" and the Java SDK error dialog boxes always appear after the successful logon.  Running MalwareBytes and ClamXav do not eliminate these pop-up windows.

  • Cannot print a pop-up or pop-under window

    .. When the popup is really helpful, as in "boarding!

    The popup was not a button 'print '. In addition, a right-click on the pop-up window is not a PRINT option, and not being a popup, there is no menu either.

    This is a serious omission by FF.

    You can use {Ctrl + P} to print in this type of situation.

    Regarding the absence of a menu item print from the context menu, Firefox has never had a. But there are a few extensions that add to this context menu item. I use this one:
