Lynda Wilcox (lyndawrites) | 1059 comments Has anyone heard of, or used, the above.

Out of the blue I've got a pop-up from them appearing on my website: www.lyndawilcox.com
It shows up as a large white, blank rectangle with a cross in the top left which, if you click on it takes you to Hostinger, or rather, because nothing changes in the address bar, superimposes it over my page.

It's there on every page I click through to, and I've no idea how to remove it.

Can anyone help, please.

Kath Middleton | 23860 comments Sounds dodgy - but sorry, I can't help. Bet someone here can though.

Steven Shaw | 24 comments I'm not getting anything when I visit the site, plus AVG are saying you're clean.

You could have something on your local PC. I'd suggest you run Malwarebytes. http://www.malwarebytes.org/mwb-downl...

Lynda Wilcox (lyndawrites) | 1059 comments Thanks Steven, I've got Avast! malware catcher running.

A friend in Hull is also seeing the same thing - when she looks via laptop, though not by iPad - and so is my cover artist. In Australia.

I can't think it's a case of malware every time.

Ah! Just looked in Chrome and I got the pop up. Had a very quick dig and found this: http://forum.youhosting.com/topic6827...

I'm not one to ignore coincidence though haven't had time to dig into it yet fully but it might well be a 'free' new ad, for your free? hosting.

Who's your site hosted by?

Lynda Wilcox (lyndawrites) | 1059 comments Thanks again, Steven.

It isn't them! It looks as if, somehow, they have inserted a piece of code into every page's coding. The friend in Hull designed and maintains the website for me. She's looking into it but is stumped so far.
