Double tap the Home button to reveal the recently used icons. Swipe upwards on the Safari preview, then go to: Settings - Safari - Clear History. Then, restart Safari.

I have a severe adware problem that has just started affecting browsing in both safari and chrome and any other browsers I have tried on my IPad.

I have tried shutting the browser and clearing history as described above which has no effect. This is the only solution I can find online which doesn't relate to Mac users.

My iPad software is up to date and am running the recently released ios9. Please help.
