Correct hoss, but even then it doesn't take them all away. I use the desktop site over the mobile site as it is better about ads from what I've experienced, but lately I keep getting them, and just today I got this one (Plus I much prefer navigating with the desktop site. I just keep getting thrown into the mobile site once a week or so).
That came from the homepage of this site, along with an abutment of ads on the pictures in the articles.
While it isn't the mobile app itself, it still pertains to the FTE Membership portion of this thread and the mobile formatting it has.

That stuff you show isn't legit, it looks like you have an infected device. Neither FTE nor IB purposely display that kind of stuff.
What likely happened is that some advertiser's site was hacked with the result being your device is infected with some sort of malware - possibly (probably?) a compromised JavaScript function that's been cached in your device and is accessible from a variety of advertising networks with the end result of you seeing that kind of crap.
What has been shown to clean up such cruft (using the Junk files function) on Android devices is something called Clean Master:
While I can understand a JavaScript being compromised, there is an extremely low chance of anything being on my phone itself. This site is the only site I get redirects from, and it only happens on the home page. What seems to be happening is that whenever site settings are saved (according to this thread, they were the day before this happened) I get kicked over the mobile version of the site, and when loading into the homepage I receive ads again. After going to the forums, enabling desktop view, and visiting after that I no longer receive ads on the homepage.
The probability of my device being infected, again, is extremely low. My phone is flashed once a month with security updates, and bi-monthly for OS updates. Whenever the security updates are applied, I go through all partitions of my phone in search of items like what the app you linked to does (I downloaded it and ran it just in case; it turned up nothing). It leads me to believe that it is on the specific advertiser's side or on their servers that the redirect/compromise is happening. This specific ad goes against the ones I typically get when being forced back onto the homepage mobile view, which are picture banner ads and overlay ads.
The updates you are speaking of generally don't touch your browser's cache nor browser's settings.
FTE gets (sometimes hundreds of) thousands of visitors a day; when something is wrong here, it affects most all users and we hear about it from all over the place. The ads that YOU are getting are not legitimate... while certainly there are compromised sites out there (ipojob.com looks to be one of them) how you get directed to that site in the first place is the issue you need to determine & correct... the behavior you describe doesn't happen to me nor other users I am in contact with.
