I am getting redirects on iPad air and iPad 2 whether using wifi or Cell services.

iPad Air

running 8.2

Model mfoo3ll/a


I did a search today for a local doctors website and phone number using google.


When I clicked on the site I was first directed to a "app" to buy ****.


I closed the window and opened a new window and typed in the URL directly and then got redirected to to other **** sites.


When I tried on the desktop computer, everything was fine and got to the website normally.


I then cleared all history, cookies and web data. Still the same redirect result going to the same website.


I did the above and shut down and restarted. Still the same thing.


I read about possible infected wireless routers where one of the tips was going to a different wireless network and see if it cleared up the issue. So I turned off the wifi and turned one the ATT cell service. Still same result.


I am looking for suggestion on what to do next.


Respectfully

No jail break on my units.


I am updating to 8.3 now to see if that works.


After the 8.3 update, even though my default search is Google, when I open Safari instead of a blank window, Bing opens as the first window.


I am trying shutting down and rebooting to see if that helps.


Next I will try your suggestion

OK No Joy!


Did your reset suggestion and when opening up Safari instead of a blank page, it goes right to BING. I changed the default search engine and it Safari still opens on BING.


Now what?


type in the Yahoo search now for the same Docs office and when I hit the link, it redirects through several screens to the p0Rn sites. I even took a video of the redirects.

I did see that article.


Did you see where I said I used the Cell Service not wifi? totally bypassed my wife router and its still doing weird sh_t


I am on ATT cell service and when I open Safari, instead of a blank window, it defaults to the BING website. This is totally bypassing the router and using cell service.


I did a reset as per jazcan, installed 8.3 and still No Joy.
