I have NEVER jailbroken my device. I think this might be a bug/virus on the forums.
There is no bug/virus on the forums. If you are legitimately being redirected on multiple websties to the same page, then it is due to the device that you are using. If this is the case, then you should contact apple support.

This is not occurring on other websites; ONLY on the minecraft forums.It doesn't seem like a legitimate redirect because it occurs randomly.
I am on a page in the forums. I tap the "tabs" button in the bottom-right corner of my screen and go to a new tab. Five minutes later, when I go back, what was a page on the forums is now the redirect page. A pop-up comes up asking if I want to open the page in App Store. Note that when it redirects while I'm looking at the page, it skips the pop-up and goes directly to the App Store.
I can give you all some information on this virus... I have it as well and have been searching for the cure for the past 4 days .
This has nothing to do with your forums, only on websites you visit often (hence the *tracking* part). People have said this same thing on many other website forums which is kinda funny. They are all complaining to moderators saying that their forums are jacked, well here's some news for you, you aren't special, many people are infected.
This happens whenever you are switching webpages making it even more deadly XP

I'm not fully sure that iPhones can get malware or virus'.
iOS is a locked system, and you can't download foreign files without it being in an Apple environment -eg Appstore, xCode.
You can't download files like mp3's from non itunes websites. So I'm not sure if you can download a virus. Malware usually gets dangerous when it spreads to other applications, and because iOS doesn't allow apps to "talk" to each other, it can't spread around.
I know that androids can get malware, I had one before, and I had to get it sent off to get reflashed.
Just to clarify, you are using the stock Safari app to browse right? Try restoring your device in iTunes and try again. If it happens again, then it could very well be malware.
Then again, I only use an iPod and I could be completely wrong, so don't hold anything against me.
Apple support is your best bet if it's malware.
I'm using the Safari app to browse on my iPhone 4S. I have been encountering tge problem much less lately (only about once every 20 minutes) but it is still happening. How do you reset the phone in iTunes?
This automatically opens the download screen for "Candy crush saga" in the App Store. What the heck is going on? Is this a glitch with the forums, a virus, or simply a stupid intentional advertisement?
My post numbers are inconsistent on this very page!
Edit: never mind this just updated.
I thought moderators could move posts.
I can't be clicking it because it's changing when I'm not even on the page.
I don't need a mod to move it anymore.

Mind clarifying this part then?

Before it goes to the "candy crush saga" page, it goes through
http://my.blueads.com/adclick.php?pid=396&wmid=730&nvc=1&ord=[timestamp]
and a couple other pages.
Tried it. Didn't work.
Most helpful first post ever.
Anyways, how did I get this virus in the first place?
