    Anyone help with this. I've been having this problem a lot lately with my apple iphone 4. When I type in a website address it starts to access the site but then another screen opens up with porn sites on it and It goes back to my original screen and its porn too.

    Try to type in address again and same happens. Happening with a lot of websites I'm trying to access

    Like popups on a home PC.

    According to some on the apple forums it seems some sites can and are coded to redirect if you have mobile safari. Try the same site using a different browser such as dolphin or opera

    did you download any strange pdf files recently? Are you jailbroken also? and what version of IOS are you running...

    remember one of the last jailbreaks was made possible by an pdf exploit so just curious to know if this wasn't patched by apple because it was a pretty big flaw going on memory. Seems to be a new trend also as you aren't the only one affected looking at forums.

    I can't recall downloading anything at all. I'm using 6.0.1 the iPhone is unlocked but I've owned it from new and when my contract was up it was unlocked by the network operator

    I don't think it's jail broken.

    That pdf flaw was patched by apple pretty quickly and there was even a package on cydia to install on a jailbroken iphone to patch it.
