How do I remove adware on my iPhone

I am posting this again since my recent thread on the same topic got deleted.This adware started happening when I installed an app called vshare from the net and to all of you guys wondering your phone doesn't have to be jailbroken/hacked to install an app from outside, and here is the name of the app, it's vshare and its website address is www.vshare.com so I can show you that you don't have to be jailbroken or hack you phone to install apps out of App Store.Now I have heard that installing third party apps carry adware which puts into the phone, so now my question is how do I get rid of the adware and yes that third party app I have uninstalled ages ago.This adware thing, what it's doing is that whenever I go to some website like www.unilad.com it redirects me to this site called www.youradexchange.com, so my question is how do I get rid of this adware and please help

You need to go back to that website. That downloads software to your computer and works to install either a hacked app, or work with your jailbroken phone. Your first post was removed, this one will be too. Use Google to look up DRU mode, and if you really want to clean your iPod, then restore via DFU. It is possible that all of the hacking may not be removed.

Close out Safari completely (swiping up from the thumbnail after a double-tap of the Home Button), and go to Settings>Safari and click on "Clear History and Data". You can also go to Settings>Safari>Advanced>Website Data, and manually Edit and remove any Websites that you think may be causing a problem. Hopefully that will clear up the issue.

Then you are going to have to restore your phone to Factory Settings. You can try setting it up from a backup, but that may just re-propagate the issue, in which case, you will have to set it up as new and re-download your purchases.

Best of luck,
