How can I remove US Marshals.gov data://(null) from Chrome browser on an iPad?

I have an iPad Air and my Chrome browser has been completely blocked from using with a likely virus. The description of 'US Marshals.gov data://(null)' for blocking iPhones or iPads. US Marshals.gov data://(null) blocker virus on iPhone or iPad is actually one of those fake FBI site scam called FBI moneypak virus, FBI virus, U.S. Department of Justice virus or NSA security malware. US Marshals.gov crime popup focuses on U.S. user’s of iPhone or iPad mobile device.

I would like to get a resolution from another source than Yoo Security for the same problem as they state "It is ONLY $56 USD (20% off of $69.95) for one time with complete fix guarantee. You can pay here:https://safecart.com/yoosecurity/yoocare/specialoffer and once you have finished the payment then we can go ahead."

From Yoo Security's website: Similarly, this blocker malware disguises U.S. Marshals. Gov to send fake warning message to accuse people of doing illegal activities and demand inexperienced people a fine of 500 dollars online via using prepaid card, but actually most of cases, mobile users didn’t do anything illegal things online. once US Marshals.gov data://(null) virus gets downloaded into Apple deice like iPhone or iPad, it will soon display fake US Marshals crime warning message to take over the whole screen of iPhone or iPad, saying your Apple ID and your mobile device has been blocked for safety reasons. On the top of this long US Marshals gov warning article message screen, it shows you real country, city, detail location, and next it accuses you of viewing ***** things, downloading pirated music, video and using or disseminating copyrighted content, which violates “Copyright and Related rights Law”. For those reasons, your mobile iPhone or iPad is locked as a punishment and you also have to send a penalty of 500 dollars within 24 or 72 hours.


When inexperienced iPhone or iPad users find this US Marshals.gov data://(null) popping up on their mobile device, they will be freaked out to death and worried if Marshal police or FBI police will catch them. They didn’t think over this matter and notice that U.S. Marshals fine warning is a scam thing. Inexperienced users will soon buy a prepaid card and send money as the scammer asks. Disguising legitimate government department like this U.S Marshals Gov or DOJ, police agency like FBI police or authentic law enforcement is their perfect tricking tactic for cyber scammer to defraud people out of money. Many people will feel scared and guilty when they see such a solemn police law warning notification showing on their device even though they didn’t do anything wrong to commit a crime and violate law articles. Since it looks like very real and legitimate and also the US Marshals.gov data://(null) alert message can’ t be closed or exited, this data null warning message has successfully manage to extort many people out of money recently. US Marshals.gov data://(null) malware is categorized as a kind of Trojan malware, so it also has ability to access the personal information like online banking account, credit card details, passwords or business data etc. That’s very dangerous to information safety. To remove this US Marshals.gov blocker earlier is a good idea to help protect personal info safety.

If US Marshals.gov warning message pops up on your iPhone or iPad and you had a javascript alert to pay a fine, your device is infected withUS Marshals.gov scam malware, it will be hard for you to remove it with antivirus completely, because there is no perfect antivirus to kill threats on iPhone or iPad and also this US Marshals Scam malware is very tricky and can escape from security apps. In this case, removing it manually with sufficient expertise online is the best way for iphone, tablet or iPad users to completely eliminate it.

Your iPad can not get a virus unless it is jail broken. Ignore that report, unless the iPad is in fact jail broken. If not, clear Chrome in the settings. Launch Chrome and go to Settings>Privacy>Clear Browsing data. Close Chrome and force restart your iPad.


Press the Home button two times quickly. You'll see small previews of your recently used apps. Swipe left to find Chrome. Swipe up on the app's preview to close it.


To force restart your device, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

That really applies to the MAC's not really the iPad or iPhone and to Safari and not Chrome as most of it discusses the computer version. Is there a way to block this kind of thing in the future?

Thanks

There is a section for what to do if you have an iOS device. Did you read the whole article?


Don't go to websites that are questionable. Other than that, probably not.
