Is it jail broken?

If it is not jailbroken, it doesn't have any spyware installed.

Please explain what makes you think that your iPhone has spyware installed.

What adware? Could you give us some additional information of what leads you to believe your iPhone has this?

That's a scam. If you're getting it in Safari, click here and follow the instructions in the first paragraph of the last section; for other browsers, the instructions vary and may involve deleting and redownloading the browser.
