iPad and iPod virus?

Okay, I think I've tracked this one down. It isn't a problem with your iPod or iPad, it's a problem with the router itself. Its DNS has been overwritten so that it randomly (about 5% of the time) will redirect you to one of their sites.

Because you're using someone else's open access point, there really isn't anything that you can do about it except to stop using that particular router.

For more info, see these pages:

  • Strange Redirects
  • Malwarebytes Forum
  • Random Browser Redirects, TDSS?
  • or the results of this Google search

If it only happens on a particular 'open access point' then the people providing the access point are doing the redirect. By the looks of the site they are settting a cookie that they can use for ads and or tracking.
