how to get rid of your ad exchange virus for iphone 5

Try Clearing All History and Website Data.

Settings -> Scroll Down To Safari -> Scroll Down to Clear All History and Website Data

It isn't a virus; there are no viruses that can infect an iPhone. It is a cookie or other bit of garbage left behind by a site you visited. Put the phone in Airplane mode. Then go to Settings/Safari and tap Clear History and Website Data. While there also turn on Fraudulent Website Warning, Do Not Track and Block Popups. Tap Block Cookies and check Allow from current website only. Tap Advanced turn off JavaScript. Exit from Settings. Now Open Safari and close all pages. Turn off Airplane mode and verify that the problem is corrected. If it is you can turn JavaScript back on.

There are viruses/malware for iPhone, Lawrence. They are by no means prevalent, but definitely possible. See: http://researchcenter.paloaltonetworks.com/2014/11/wirelurker-new-era-os-x-ios-m alware/

There are no viruses for unjailbroken iPhones. Wirelurker first of all is NOT a virus. While it IS malware, it does not propagate from device to device over a network, which is the definition of a virus. It also only affects devices that have Enterprise Provisioning profiles, which are installed by corporate IT departments to allow deployment of custom enterprise applications rather than through the iTunes App Store. What it does is masquerade as an enterprise application to allow installation of replacements for commonly used apps, such as Gmail. And it was blocked within weeks of its discovery.

It's also irrelevant to the subject of this thread.

EDIT:

Nearly forgot. It can only be installed over a USB connection from a computer that was previously infected.

Hi Lawrence

I am having this issue with both my I pad and I phone. I have tried everything you suggested in your post of last year but as soon as I turn JavaScript back on Safari defaults to trade ad exchange. I now can't use either my phone or pad to browse. Help??

Your router may be infected, or your carrier may be inserting the malware.

Thanks, this does appear to be the case as I've connected to wi fi away from my router and Bingo - no problem. My provider however is not being very helpful but that's my problem!

Merci pour votre aide 😀 j'ai resout le probleme

At last!! Thanks Lawrence, it was soooo annoying!
