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.

Sounds like some ad being displayed on the gamefaq.com website is automatically opening a link to an App Store item, which will cause the App Store to open and display that item. I would recommend avoiding that site, as such behavior is at the very least in an ethical gray area. Although your iPhone cannot be infected with anything (unless you have jailbroken it), bad ads can be a source of malware on a desktop computer, so you really don't want to have anything to do with a site that allows such ads.
