Hello everyone,,
Now, 3 times now a window has popped up on the forums saying

"Internet Explorer Script Error"

Then saying some object is not supported and install this virus here and blah blah blah. I know right off the bat its a virus, so I don't do anything. I know it isn't an add, since I blocked all adds from every web-page I see.

Can a mod explain this?
And has someone else had this happen to them.

I haven't had that occur, but then I use Microsoft Edge, not Internet Explorer, and I also use an ad blocker.

However, on my iPad I frequently get pop-up nuisance announcements when visiting the UESP Wiki pages, such as something saying that I'm the Xth (insert number here) AT&T internet customer to visit the site (I'm on AT&T U-verse), and click here to receive my reward or whatever. I can't navigate away from it, because it completely takes over iPad's Safari browser, so I must double-press the button on my iPad to display all running apps and shut down Safari that way. I'm pretty sure that that is occurring because of some sort of script that's running on the UESP Wiki pages, and I'm assuming that it's something being run by one of the ads at the top of the pages, since that has not happened while using Microsoft Edge and an ad blocker.
