Hi, I’ve been enjoying this comic for a while, but lately there’s been malware ads here which seem to target phones. I’m using a Nexus phone and after loading the page I sometimes get the vibration turned on and a fake virus alert after being redirected from another, which I guess is your ad provider. Very annoying and I hope you can find out where it comes from – I’ll try to copy the URLs next time.
Ooh. No good. Thanks for telling me! I’ve never seen that myself (if my iPhone has encountered the troublesome ad, then it hasn’t reacted to it in any noticeable way) so this is news to me. Hmm. I use Project Wonderful and Google Adsense for running my ads here and I doubt it’s Project Wonderful that’s causing the issue, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s an ad coming through Google Adsense that’s being awful. If you can let me know exactly what you see, maybe I could figure out which ad provider is posting that ad and block them. Currently I can’t figure out what to look for, but I’d like to fix it.
Typical – managed to get the ad several times until I finally thought of something that might help you. After that, nothing. :S
Will report back once I have an URL or something.
Awww, it’s all right! I know exactly how that goes. If you get it, I’ll be here to fix it. In the meanwhile, I’m keeping my own eyes open for it just in case. Thanks for your help so far. 🙂

Thanks for all your hard work!
