Hello all.
Today I started getting redirected to a page named something along the lines of "go.goadvs"

I tried to ignore it (thinking if was just the site I visited) but I came to realize that it might be the entire browser, since the same thing happened while visiting sites like Google.

I attempted to "fix it" by deleting all of my browsing data (cookies, history, everything) but to no avail.
I then tried deleting the app entirely.
Still didn't work.

So, here I am to ask:
How do I get rid of this?
I tried deleting my recent downloads too.

The browser I'm using is an app called "iCab Mobile" on an iPod touch 5th gen (running vers 8. something)

I think you may try to conduct Restore factory settings on your Ipod Touch to ensure everything are well reset to default. ;)

go.goadvs is a redirect virus, your device has been infected, when did this start, have you downloaded any apps recently?
