Safari problem? Virus, trojan, spyware, adware?

Anytime I try and use safari it eventually closes and opens up the AppStore to the app, candy crush saga. I have tried restoring my phone two times second time starting as a new phone and the problem still persists. Before the AppStore automatically open the URL box in safari changes two or three times in a split second before changing to an aptrack.king URL and the opens up candy crush in the App Store.

I am getting redirects everytime I visit CNN.com.


It goes through redirect tunnels and ends up in a pop up trying to install a virus on my phone. I sent them an email but not sure if it hit the right department. But I am disappointed with Safari in iOS 10 (Latest update). i expected this sort of stuff be prevented by their security fixes.


My phone : iPhone 6

iOS 10 : Latest update


Thanks!
