How can I remove trafficshield.xyz from my iPad Pro?

Me too but mine started when I allowed Words with Friends to run banner ads on my game for 500 coins. I’ve spoken with Apple support and it’s possible we that’s where it began. I’ve deleted the game and will see if I still get the pop up

This keeps happening to me, too, but only when I'm in the Cryptogram app. I've had this app on my iPad Air for a few months now and it just started happening. It doesn't happen in any other app (so far). I like this app and don't want to have to permanently delete it. Is there a way to stop it?

It keeps popping up when I’m on Words With Friends, even though I never gave permission for banner ads. That’s the only app where it keeps popping up frequently—multiple times an play—and seemingly randomly. Is the only solution to quit playing WWF?

Same here, playing Words With Friends (on iPad Air)! I hope someone from Apple responds soon, this is unnerving.

What Is traffic shield.XYZ security threat center it keeps popping up on my iPhone and tells me that I have 28 threats. It offers to fix now I immediately sweep up to delete it or to close it. What is it and do it I need it or is this a scam? Sometimes it says threat sweeper.

Scam. Don’t click on it. A lot of us are trying to learn how to stop this from happening

I cant find any good answers for this! All settings are off and no real help to revoke banner ads.

I’ve had this problem recently too. I found that blocking the website was one option. It still tries to go to the website but at least won’t open. Words with Friends is essentially allowing malware to pop up from its app.

Just started with me yesterday? Apple support is a no show for answers?

These are simply ads provided by the app/game you are playing. Tapping the ad is going to open the page in Safari. That is how they work, it is not Malware and you can navigate away from the page if you wish. You have several options:

• Quit playing the game
• Complain to the developer of the game
• Pay for the ad free experience if offered
• Write a review in the App Store for the app to let other potential users know of your experience

Word with Friends if the one that displays it frequently, but it can come from any game that uses the same ad network. In reality there are only about 4 or 5 Ad companies that developers use and they are common across many apps. The developer of the game is paid for the ads and Apple receives zero money from them. It is your choice if you want to continue and support the developer by using the app.

I’m having the same issue with Words With Friends. It jumps to safari and loads that URL without even touching on any ad. It’s not malware. It’s a phishing scam making you think your device is infected, but it’s not.

Unlike typical ads, this ad is opening in Safari on its own, without me clicking on the ad or anything, for that matter, and not always at a time when an ad is expected. Then, when hitting to return to the game, it leaves that window open. Essentially, I’ve been playing for about ten minutes and had to go shut down five windows due to this out-of-the-ordinary behavior. Yes, I will lodge a complaint.

Happening to me while playing Zen Color. Also used this app for months but this also just started happening this week. Hopefully Apple can stop this.

The problem with this popup is that you don’t have to touch anything. I’ve had the app open with my phone not even in my hand and the browser will try to open to that website. The App Store has a lot of recent reviews that mention this problem. Zynga’s is supposedly working on the problem.
