ad-type.google.com virus

Go to Settings>>Safari>>Clear history and website data. If that doesn't work, you probably have a hacked router. The only way to get a virus on an iPhone/iPod/iPad is to jailbreak it.

You do not have a virus at all unless you jailbroke your phone and I am sure you did not do that. What you have is a phishing cookie in your browser. To be on the safe side do this:

Close Safari completely from the multitasking window by double clicking the Home button and swiping up the Safari preview window all the way up until it disappears. Then go to Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data. After that do a hard reboot. Hold down the Home and Wake/Sleep buttons at the same time for about 15-20 seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it comes up. You will not loose anything.

Ashish i have the same problem in my iPhone and also in iPad it feel like there in no way out i have tried even restoring the device its not working.

its sucking blood i think apple should quickly come out with some solution 😕

Hi

This doesn't work for me. It just keeps coming back. Any other suggestions?

Thanks.

What you are describing sounds like a wireless network hack, since it is affecting multiple devices. Unless you have jailbroken both devices, or installed some malicious app with enterprise provisioning from a website on both devices, your iOS devices aren't infected with malware or adware.

For more information on solving a compromised network problem, see:

How can I troubleshoot my wireless router or modem with my Mac?

guys disable javascript in safari.. it works for me

Hi

Tried this and like you say it works. However you cannot use any websites full functionality. For example you cannot use the search function on a website, I am convinced that it is either the 8.4.1 download ( this has started happening after that) or like said in one of the above posts my modem has been hacked. Have to check that angle.

It is not the 8.4.1 download it is a browser hijack you picked up from a site you visited. If you read through here it happens on iOS devices running various versions and it happens on Macs running OS X. If you follow directions given above to clear everything from Safari then double-click and close Safari it will be gone, even with javascript on. If it comes back either your router is infected or you are returning to the same website(s) that have been hacked and picking it up again. Contact that website.

There's no solution if you're on mobile data, but if you're on wifi, change the DNS for the connection to either OpenDNS or Google's DNS. The problem should go away.

Hi

I tried 3 or 4 websites and all of them after some time redirected me to the ad-type. So dont think it is a site specific issue. Modem? Dont know how to even begin to check! Thanks for your time anyways.

Hi

You must be very lucky. I just finished a extremely frustrating call with Airtel " Technical" help. Denied all knowledge of this and also said it could be a technical issue! After 2 years of constant speed issues and no resolution I had wowed that I would never call them again. Your post tempted me but nothing has changed!
