No big deal dude. This malware has been on this site for more than a year now and there have been hundreds of posts like yours about it. Just go to the app store and download your favorite content blocker. I use a free app Firefox Focus. Problem is gone and it will speed up the Internet on your phone.

The team has been working on this issue. There has been periods of time where this issue has not been active. The fact that the last time this specific issue was reported had been months ago, would support that.
Despite some want to claim this is a CorvetteForum-only issue, the fact is this is an Internet-wide issue and not specific to CorvetteForum. This issue is part of the Internet just as spam is part of email. Therefore, it will likely be an on-going battle.
While the site is free for you and others to access and use, the site is not free to operate. A site as active and large as CorvetteForum does not run on a personal 9.99/month plan. Bills have to be paid and ads are frequently one of those sources that many sites, and other companies, use to help pay those expenses.
