I had no pop triggers on navigation links, only internal and in the end I only ran them on thumbnails / video titles.
After reading some more I found this:
So worst case the popups/ads are down for a day while testing what exactly is triggering this. (im at 2 fails now both with 2 reviews). I initially though that after 4 fails ads would be blocked for a month..

adspyglass could be the problem, especially if you're using their SSP option. you're showing pops from multiple self-serve ad networks, and we know that even if you're only using a single self-serve ad network there will be malicious landers sneaking through.
it is strange that it says "misleading behavior" instead of malware or phishing, but the reason could easily be that your site is doing the "misleading behavior" and isn't specifically responsible for the malware/phishing (since thats on a different domain)
I try to think about
: what would attract google's attention to do a review of your site? Certainly an externally linked nav tab would draw attention to your site.
It wouldn't be hard for google to notice that people are ending up on malware/phishing sites after visiting your site, which could easily trigger a review -- and during the review, the most obvious violation is the popunders, which are misleading but not necessarily leading to malware/phishing, since 98% of the time, the pop is leading to a compliant lander (so they likely wouldn't see the malware/phishing lander during review)
