Not me in either Edge or Firefox.
May be time for a malware scan for you
BTW: site not sight

There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.

Re: Spam sight pop-up?
Thanks- seems like my co-worker's Verizon hot spot is the problem...about once a month or so I start getting bogged down with pop up spam sights, only happens when I work with him.
I don't know much about puters, but I know he constantly is looking at 'questionable' websites...could his garbage 'jump' from his laptop to the hotspot, to other connected devices?

But a lot depends on how secure the hotspot and/or your device is.

My ex's computers were/are constantly getting infected because she has never gotten out of the habit of blindly clicking on whatever pops on websites just to get it out of the way. She was often going to Chinese sites with questionable coding which didn't help.

Re: Spam sight pop-up?
I'm on a Mac laptop...I just downloaded Malware Bytes and Adware Doctor. MB found multiple 'OS helper' and such programs...AD found all the directories for them so I could delete them.
I only use this for work, and I NEVER go to any 'weird' sites or prompts to update anything.
