So I'm getting complaints that ROK has aggressive popups that either can't be closed or lead to an app store. I checked with my advertisers and it's definitely not coming from them, and the site's code is clean (i.e. not hacked), so it looks like the problem is malware that gets displayed when you hit certain sites. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? The site does have one pop-up, but it's only one window and can be closed without leading you to a download page.
Similar events seem to be common on Apple devices:

Also here's an example when it happens after someone visits the Spotify.com web page (not the app):

I actually saw the popup once on my Android device, leading me to a suspicious domain called adperformancenetwork.com.
If this happens to you, take a screenshot and post it here. I have a feeling this may need some time to troubleshoot.
