Have I a virus on my phone?

    I have a Wileyfox Swift a few weeks. I only view about a dozen or so mainstream websites, i.e., nothing dodgy. Use the stock Chromium browser.


    When I visit this thread on boards.ie:

    boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057653365&page=34

    the game.co.uk text in this post is converted into a link:

    boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=101266318&postcount=500

    The link that it is converted to is:

    go.skimresources.com/?id=61111X1383796&site=boards.ie&... (have to truncate the full link as I am not allowed to post a link as a new user)


    The next post down in that thread quotes this post and the link is converted again but into a different link:

    boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=101266604&postcount=501

    clk.tradedoubler.com/... (truncated)

    Could this be a virus or am I just missing something?

    Forgot to say, this is just happening on mobile not desktop.

    Scanned with AVG and Malwarebytes but nothing was detected.

    A bit of a simpler indication of what is going on.

    boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=101272223&postcount=1

    boards.ie - just text, no link.

    game.co.uk - is converted into a clk.tradedoubler.com link
