When I am surfing the web on my phone, I get randomly taken to my App Store and it's usually for a Zynga game. It's happened 4 times in the last 5 minutes. Very annoying. There are no ads for Zynga Games anywhere on these pages. So I'm not accidentally hitting one. It only seems to happen when I'm here at two peas, but I may just notice it because I'm here a lot… More than any other website…
Does this happen to anyone else?

It's likely to be a rogue ad that redirects you when it loads (so not a virus). Proboards have had some other reports of this problem, and are looking into it. To help them narrow it down, some details would be helpful:
Device and browser you are using Time when the redirect occurred Your location - city or area preferably
If you're able to see and make a note of what ad(s) are on the page before it opens the app store even better.

Iphone 5s Ios Last night and this morning Lendingtree then black bar then redirect this last time but do not always see because scroll down and do not see ad at top. This time I just waited. It seems to require a touch on screen or at least finger close to screen Chicago area

Mine shows a 'Message from webpage' 'Tip - "not enough memory, too much junk files, seriously affect the speed of phone!" The only option is to click the OK button (no X available) which takes me to a store search for Dianxinos and in turn a page titled Update Android cleaning. web address is update.sztdy.com.....
and app.appsflyer.com
I'm on a Nokia Windows phone using Internet Explorer Redirect happens repeatedly since Monday Oxford UK

Have had this problem many times on iPad Air 2. I clear all website data and it goes away. It's a pain to reenter passwords and such but better than being redirected all the time.
It has been a while since it has happened though.

Go to Settings on the left menu select Safari Scroll to the bottom of the Safari menu and select Advanced At the top of this select Website Data At the bottom Select Remove All Website Data You will get a pop up with remove or cancel select remove Before you do this be aware all of your usernames and passwords will need to be re entered, along with any info that might have been stored for a specific website like shopping carts.

It's been happening to me a lot too, not just here but on any different websites. I have an iPhone 5S. I'll clear my data and see if that helps.
