⚠ [Solution] Are you getting popups when opening Similar Worlds?

Hello,

Some members appear to be getting popups when they open Similar Worlds and other websites.

All the users so far that have complained about this seem to be using a Samsung phone, and after we investigated a bit, this seems to be caused by a virus/infection, and not by Similar Worlds.


If you are getting popups when opening websites, we recommend you [b]install "Malwarebytes" from the Play Store[/b], which appears to be [u]resolving the issue[/u] for some users.

After some researching, I can see that other people are having this issue recently with other websites.

They seem to be able to resolve this issue by uninstalling apps that have been installed recently. [u]Please review the apps you installed recently and consider [b]uninstalling[/b] them.[/u] If this resolves the issue, please let us know what apps you uninstalled!

WOW!!! This is interesting! Not what you're talking about but the fact you really exist!
I always read about admins and mods but it's the first time I see one of this creatures with my eyes. I want to study their habits!

Anyway I log by a computer so, luckily, I don't have the problem you're talking about.
Cheers! 🍻
