A filthy web page flashed up on my iPad earlier whilst using safari. This was not wanted and nearly seen by my kids. The tablet hasn't been used for grot (honest). What should I install to clean this up and prevent it happening again?

I believe Kleenex is traditional.

If there's grot on your ipad it got there in one of two ways.

1. You went there
2. You installed it

If you didn't go there then look for apps you've installed recently.
Also check out what your home page is.

actually you're all rong.

The OP is innocent, its an exploit that the website DangerousMinds suffered from for a while, it some how reroutes iOS connections to filth.

Contact the website owners, they may not be aware.

That's obviously where I've been going wrong, I have to make an effort and search to find it...
