Intrusive adds malware, how to fix it ?

Good Day,

I have been having intrusive advertisements for over a month now. These adds directs me to the app store and to some other websites without the ability to stop them. Using the iPhone for browsing the internet became impossible!

I have tried clearing the history and restarting the iPhone many many times with no improvement . This problem happened with the OS8.2 and still not fixed with IOS9.1 . One more thing I'm having the same issue with my iPad mini + iPhone 5s + iPhone 5 .

iPhone 5, iOS 9.1

Does this happen on wifi? If so, does it stop if you don't use wifi or use wifi at another location? -AJ

If you keep visiting the same compromised websites, you'll keep having the same problem.

I have it on all websites, even apple's. All web sites I visit are trusted and reputable.

Then your router may be compromised.

I thought about that, but it seems that I have the adds issue on mobile data also, which eliminates that option.
