All iPads Do you want to download occ?

[mk313]

Last night, I started to get a popup on my iPad saying, do you want to download occ? I thought it was a scam, so I closed the popup, but it's come up quite frequently since then.

I see a thread on apple's forums about the same issue, but don't see anything here.

I get a pop-up window asking "Do you want… - Apple Community

Anyone else have this issue & if so, any way to resolve it?

It might be from ads.

Did you install an ad blocker?

Good thought but I did not install an ad blocker.

I have AdGuard and I’ve never seen that pop up. *knock on wood*

gotcha! Now I understand what you were saying. I'll look into an ad blocker & see if that resolves the issue. Thanks for the idea!

That is a windows based malware popup.

You down with OPP?

Yeah, you know me.

Thanks!

AdGuard will help with preventing ads and popups. I have used it for years.

Thanks. I will give that a try. I started using it on my Mac & it's been pretty good. I didn't realize there was an iPad version.

Yes, same I am on the iOS 18.1 Beta just started happening, crystal and Wiper parts 1 2 3 Extensions installed. Reocurred after doing a forced restart and clearing all Safari Data, then popped up again visiting a Nasdaq.com pg.

Also prob worth mentioning I noticed that my Block Pop-ups switch was off maybe something to do with recent IOS Update?

 

[Hmm]

I’m getting it and I’m still on 17.6.1.

I’m getting it on iPad iOS 17.6.7.

That is a windows based malware popup.

So what does that mean for iOS users?

It means it will not technically affect you. You just need a good blocker to not see it and other such items.

Heads Up: I am also getting a message asking if I want to download “sync.” Anyone else getting that message?

Block pop-ups has been activated in iOS 18 Safari yet the prompt to download occ or sync have been increasing in occurrence frequency over the past week. Been discussing with Apple support who are aware and looking into.
