I received both of these McAfee screens while on TBN today. I could only hit upper tab in order to remove.
TBN being hacked?

I use an IOS tablet completely updated. This hasn't happened on any other site.

I'm by far an expert, but the whole urgency and fact it was hard to get out of it screams scam to me....especially if you don't have McAfee.
The capitalization on that phrase seems off.

I’m getting it too.
So are you saying that this McAfee popup is appearing when you visit TBN? Or do you have McAfee installed and it's alerting while you visit TBN?

I got the same thing today. I was using my Samsung tablet which runs Android. I do not have McAfee installed but the pop up stated that my subscription was expired. This pop up has only appeared on TBN.
How did you access the forum? From a bookmark? From Google?

I'm just clicking on tbn and this pops up. I do not have McAfee.
I use a bookmark on Safari. Don't care for the app.

I saw it once earlier today. Safari on iPhone.
Trying to replicate this. Is everybody who saw this using safari?

I downloaded the application, but found it more difficult to use than just going to this website.

i got it as well, on my iPad using Safari. Getting some tasteless cartoon ads now
A screen capture of the popup or ad including the url you are at would be helpful.
Usually these types of things sneak in through advertising codes (called fraudulent ads), not our actual site being hacked. There are systems that run on the ad networks to detect and remove them automatically. If it doesn't happen again that could be the case. Might have already been removed. If it persists well find it.
