Ipad Virus?

brodev

I have an Ipad (original or 1). Despite Ipad saying that an anti virus isn't necessary think I have a possible virus on it. I get an advert from world.showsnail.biz . It tells me that I have a chance to win £500 from Tesco. Just click "ok" to find out. A friend told me that when he clicked "ok" on the same advert he had to rebuild his ipad. I cannot get rid of this ad as it comes up every time I go into safari. Other sites come up but the ad is superimposed over them. Anyone with any ideas?

Clear Safari cache then try this

On the home screen click on Settings.
Scroll down and click on Safari.
Scroll down and select "Clear History".
Now "Clear Cookies and Data".
Scroll down and set JavaScript to "OFF".
Make sure "Block Pop-ups" is ON.
Now click "Advanced".
Now click "Website Data".
Clear all website data.

Now you can leave "Settings" and launch Safari.
Find a website.
Exit Safari and go back to "Settings".
Scroll down and click "Safari".
Scroll down and set JavaScrip to ON.
Exit Settings.

BTW you do NOT have a virus. This is merely a persistent web page stuck in your Safari browser.
