Well at least I wasn't the only dealing with that fake virus $#!+. FARKING H€££ that was driving me bat$#!+.
Well its doing it again. It did it last night I was using my iPad over a cell network in Montgomery AL.
I hope this isn't like a large family and one of the kids brings home some kinda bug and by the time it's all said and done everyone has had it at least a couple times.
It's back again for me too on my iOS devices on my home network. Laptop/MacOS is issue-free. Nathan, does which DNS server a person has in their router have anything to do with the problem we're dealing with here? I'm now using 64.6.64.64, after using Google's 8.8.8.8 (and others) with no apparent change to the problem. All seem to deliver the same annoying issue on the iOS devices while in my home, but no issues at all when I'm using iOS on Verizon's LTE signal.
I've been trying to replicate many of these issues. Being intermittent that has been quite fun to do. Woohoo...
If you are still experiencing this issue can you perform a trace route and send us the results. To Perform a Traceroute in Mac OS X Launch Network Utility. ... Click Traceroute.

You may have to wait up to a minute or more for the test to complete. ... Send us the complete results (every line) for analysis.
This is a different issue, but noteworthy: Whenever I try to post anything with a link or URL of any kind in Safari on the iPad or a Mac, I get a blank screen when I hit "submit" or "preview" and I can't actually make the post. Edited to add - same issue in Firefox on the iPad.
Yep, I know. That one has been driving me nuts because it's not everyone. The post is actually there, sometimes, the refresh showing you it is there is the issue.
Thanks Nathan. I loaded iNet, but now can't reproduce the re-direct issue. If it happens again I'm ready for it.
