    Shortly before 6:00 am, Central Standard Time on December 5 2017, I was looking through the story Fox in the Henhouse via Chrome on Android and suddenly had my open window redirect to what claimed to be a McAfee protection webpage, followed by the next several Windows as I closed that one and each of the following in turn. Each time, the page claimed that I was being resurrected to an address consisting of a random two-digit number, a period, and a random single-digit number. To my knowledge I do not have any McAfee software installed on my device.

    Yeah, your mobile device or anti virus software will not bombard you with threatening, obnoxious pop-up browser windows that you can't easily close while you're surfing.
