Annoying amazon pop up from "reward center" on iPhone
« on: July 31, 2017, 06:55:09 PM »
Talk about a productivity hit.

All I can find on google are articles from 2014 and essentially articles saying "clear your browser history"

I've done that several times but they just keep popping up.

Any suggestions?

Closing the windows.

It navigates away from the site I was on forcing me to close the window and reload the page I was on

I would clear all possible browser related settings. Caches, etc. Try another browser app and see if it happens there?

Sounds like adware to me.  I Googled "iPhone Amazon pop-up close window" and got a few URLs that support my supposition.  https://howtoremove.guide/iphone-virus-removal/ is specific to iPhone/Safari and https://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-congratulations-amazon-user-virus/ seems mostly Windows related but specific to the adware you might have installed.  Hopefully this helps.
