No possibility of a virus? Last year at least two major attacks were confirmed, and also the iCloud was compromised...

So is it a mr issue with the virus. It only happens on this website and it is all the time. Every thread i click on diverts me to app store.  Even when i went to reply it kicked me to app store 3 times before i could finally type anything.

I am on my iPad right now. No issues.

Go to an Apple store and have them look.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.

My best friend, Google seems to indicate, Malware.

Google, ipad bumped and getting directed to app store.

You picked this up from a site. I really doubt this site has done it as no one else seems to be affected. Strange.

You might go into Settings and clear Cookies and History.

I have not had this problem, but I do get a lot of targeted advertising on my IPad

ok here is what i think happened and how i fixed it.  I believe i clicked on an advertisement on the main forum page.  It was by accident and it is something i think has been added recently. with it came my problem. I went to settings and erased my cookies and history. Now all is well. I only had to go back and remember all my passwords for my websites again.
