It's pretty easy to get rid of.
Force quit safari by double tapping the home button and flicking the preview for safari up and off the screen. Single tap the home button to exit the mode
Then go into the settings, safari and throw away the history. This gets rid of that pop up
For good measure force the iPod to restart by holding down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver Apple, let go and let it restart and then try again. The popup should be gone.
And yeah, you were right, it's a malicious ad, but it's not malware, not that can run on an iDevice anyway. You just need to clear it out of the device's history to keep it from returning.
