Smashed by popups

Is this site/server compromised in some way? I'm getting smashed by pop up tabs and windows with every click.

Oh, there's another

They are turned off, so when I click to Reply, for example, the button does nothing.

At the moment I have to right-click and open a new tab to progress through the site. It's not happening with any other site I visit. MY11 SD4 SE Auto

Operating system? Browser? More information needed. I’m using the native iOS browser on an iPad and Firefox on a windows laptop but I block everything I can, pop ups ,ad’s, trackers, cookies. I never use Chrome or edge and avoid Google.

Malware it was. Cleaned up with Sophos.

MacOS 10.14
Safari 13.02

Reason I asked is that this site is where it all first became apparent - buttons wouldn't function, new tabs, hidden windows, popup ads - mainly on this forum, then spread to other sites I tried to access. MY11 SD4 SE Auto
