How to remove Rewardsget.com popup.

HERE IS THE SOLUTION for the facebook popups: It's one of the APPS WITHIN YOUR FB ACCOUNT that you gave permission in facebook some (long) time ago, that is injecting these rogue popup ads. I don't know which one exactly but when I went to: Preferences > Account Preferences > Apps ... there were dozens of old apps that I couldn't even remember ever to have used. I deleted them all (especially games and apps that I have no clue what they do or did) but the ones that are definitely legit. I had no more popups in the last days. Finally!

Fixes for Adware and Pop-ups

1. Malwarebytes
2. DetectX 2.11
3. Remove adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac
4. Stop pop-up ads and adware in Safari - Apple Support

[Please ignore remarks such as "Don't use any kind of "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" product on a Mac." Such remonstrations are an exaggeration. They may be needed in some situations, but need not be installed or used for all circumstances. Furthermore, adware removal programs make the job of removal much easier. They require no permanent installation to remove adware or other types of malware. They do no damage, and they don't make you more vulnerable to attack.]

The solutions do not refer to the rewardsget.com pests pop up on facebook on iPad. Safari iPad pop up blocker is on. iPad is at latest level. Any help specific to iPad? Please, and thanks.

I'm having the same problem on my iPhone!

Double click the Home button. Select Safari and swipe up. Settings/Safari/Clear history and website data,

Thanks Eric,

Your suggestion is what I have to do when I get a rewards get.com or other pop-up in Facebook. I double click HOME, close safari/facebook, then go to settings and Clear history/data. This unlocks facebook/sfari so I can use it again, and wait until it happens again.

What I am looking for is the answer to whether this is a "bug", malware, virus, etc. and if so is there a fix to stop it from happening again. In my case, this happens only on my iPad, not on my iPhone. Is there any software like

malwarebytes which runs on iOS/iPad. I have searched and not found any. This cannot be normal, especially that it "hangs" safari/facebook (looks like safari is started from Facebook, but neither can be closed and neither allows a "go back". I suspect foul play here ... and am surprised this is not an issue for Apple. Perhaps, it's just me and my iPad. If so, the workaround, is a PIA but does work.

Happy Thanksgiving

Paul

You are welcome. Happy Thanksgiving to you.

It isn't a bug or a virus that will attack and destroy your iPad. As far as I know, there is no permanent fix except to stay off the Internet. I don't know of any IOS software like malwarebytes. I think it is something we are just stuck with unfortunately.

Thanks again!!!!

You are welcome.

Thank you for the information. Your posting it will help others.
