IPad malware warning

I have not heard of any exploit that would produce this behaviour.

The fact that the pages DO load, and only switch to another page AFTER they have loaded, indicates to me that the problem lies within the page itself. For instance some "evil" Javascript is inserted into the page causing it to redirect.

If the problem was in the OS, for instance messing with DNS, I would expect that you would never be able to reach the page and you would immediately be getting the "evil" page.

Ad networks have often been used for this kind of abuse because there are many parties providing content for ads, so it is hard to check everything that goes on. I would think that an evil advertisement is much more likely to be the cause of this problem than any malware on your iOS device.

You could try using your iPad via proxy and monitor the traffic that comes through. You could set your computer to share its internet connection over Wifi, and run a html proxy on your computer. And then look in the transferred code to see if you can identify the cause of the redirects.

I experienced this (error 14) when updating my iPhone 6. I backed up the phone and apps in iTunes while downloading the OS update to iTunes. Then I chose the iTunes Update Now button. It took 18 minutes to arrive at the error code 14. My phone then disconnected from my computer and could not be SEEN by my computer until I plugged the USB cable into a different USB port and then plugged in the phone. I was only given a choice to quit or totally reset the phone. I did a reset which resulted in a choice to have a new phone or to restore it. The first and second restore attempts failed. I chose restore from the phone choices.

It worked when I used the restore button from iTunes instead of using the choice on the phone. There were approx. 10 apps that did not restore but as I write this the phone is downloading them from the apps store. My contacts are complete, as are my pictures and other personal data. Yuck! Always back up your phone before OS Updates!!!
