Facebook Android - Ad Virus Pop-up

Post by Bennerebe »

Every time I click on any Facebook article using my Android S8 Facebook app I get the attached (oh, nvrmnd, can't attach images here, great) virus pop-up.
It's your basic "oh you've got a virus, so hit this link" message that is obviously malicious.
Hitting the back button does no good, can only kill task Facebook app and restart.
It's been going on for many months and I've reported it to Facebook, but heard nothing.
Please help me to figure out to make this stop.
