I'm seeing pop-ups like this, when I'm using Dolphin. Do I need to worry about a virus, or a security problem?

Thanks so much.

This is new. I'd never seen them before.

There are apps that aren't the browser itself that can cause pop up ads. Look for turdware, remove said turdware, profit.

I installed Stack the Countries recently. I ran an ad detector, and it showed none.

Some sites know if your using a mobile device & will send you ads based on that. Looks like that site it one of them
