It's apparently a Trojan horse that attacks mobile devices and specifically through message boards. It gets progressively worse until you can't click on a thread without being redirected and then taken to iTunes (or similar - this attacks android devices too) and asked to purchase the game "Candy Crush". I've been dealing with this for months now and it's really gotten terrible lately. There are no known fixes except for the MB hosts to cancel all advertising from King.com. At least this is what I've been able to glean from the multiple threads I've found on this through google.
Anybody else getting this "AdTrack.King" bullsh*t?

Yes, and I've cleared cookies and everything, that's why I'm in Chrome right now.
I've never used anything but Chrome. It's terrible on chrome
give it time, it gets worse over time, no matter which browser you use. it got me on chrome the first time I tried this reply.

I've started getting it on ED too Flab. It's not just SPS. If you google this one, you'll see it attacks message boards, specifically. I saw a thread from a minecraft forum, among many others. It starts very slowly. It only happens once every couple of days. But eventually it gets to where you cannot even read a single thread without having it happen. This is iPhone and Adroid. chrome, safari, dolphin, you name it. It's everywhere as far as mobile devices are concerned.
