Malware removal for IPAD

[Jayfarmlaw]

Apparently I have a malware infection on my IPAD. I keep getting the "You've won $1000 gift card" pop up from someone that wants me to think they are Google. It only happens on this site. I notified the site and they said I had Malware.

What is the best malware removal software for iPads, preferably free, but if not just a good program.

I know very little about anything computerized so ease of installation and use would be great.

Thanks in advance for your response.

The tools I use for PC and MAC cleaning are not available for IOS (CCleaner and Malwarebytes Antimalware). A quick google search led to a couple articles that say to clear browser history and restart the IOS device. Worst case is to reinstall and restore from backup.

The following article from Macworld UK is pretty clear. I would start at the "Clear History and website data" part of the page: I would restart the iPad first to make sure any open apps are closed.

Correct. You don't have malware. The creepy kids are just getting better at making you think you do.
