I keep getting this when I browse PH, nearly on every section, don't get it on other sites I view so presume a PH only issue.

I get it as well when on phone or tablet. Just this site.

Me too. Android only, but all the bloody time.

If one of you selected " View Certificate" and posted some details of what it contains (domain names in particular) it would probably help the techies more than just saying "there's a problem".

We do not run https on our site, so it must be from an advertiser - if you post up the details we can then look at sorting out the issue.

According to Google that domain has been associated with malicious software over the past 90 days.

That's a quick way to reduce confidence in your site...

We have identified the advertiser doing this and have blocked them from the site.

Why does this keep happening?

We run programmatic advertising across the site (read here for more details http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmatic_media ) and currently use several exchanges who can serve ads based on the bidding process they have in place for advertisers. These exchanges should vet the adverts before serving them out, but I am unsure on the process they use. Some are big players such as Google and Amazon who provide these ads, but we do try other exchanges to see how they perform.

I'm still getting it.

Well that makes my statement look idiotic. I will pass back through the ads team to see what has gone wrong removing this.
