    Google is listing TV.Cream.Org as harmful at the moment, it's possible a link on here is being picked up and giving you that warning.

    In the last few days I started getting a problem with malware when reading the weather forum on my mobile. It seems quite random in that sometimes its when I access Daily weather forecast, sometimes the Dec10th storm thread.
    The effect is a sudden down loading of a series of adult content porn sites.
    Any advice on how to deal with this? I am not very tech savvy so I'd be grateful for clear step by step instruction.

    Install malwarebytes from Play store update and scan the phone

    thanks uch. I did that but nothing showed up in the scan.

    Have you any other suggestions?

    It seems odd that it has only happened when accessing the weather forum. Could it be something that has come via that?

    First thing I'd do is clear your browser cache and history on the handset then you could try scanning with AVG or the like, you can get these on the play store also.
