If you haven't already, go into settings and then Safari. Scroll to where is says Block Popups and make sure that is turned on.

Back in Settings, scroll down until you find Game Center. Click on that and make sure you are NOT signed into Game Center. If you aren't signed in, it will ask you to Authenticate. Your AppleID should already be filled in. At this point, simple hit Cancel to get out of it. If you are logged into Game Center, logout and see if anything changes.

I'll keep looking, but this seems to be rather isolated.
I checked my Safari settings and I already had the "block popups" turned on. I noticed a ''Cookie" setting and changed it from "always allow" to "only from websites I visit" (or something like that). Maybe that will help!

On a side note-- About a year and a half ago, I was having problems with my laptop and took it into our local computer repair shop here in Michigan. They told me that they had never seen so much "brownware' on a computer and thought it was from TOTV -- because there are so many ads on the site! That is when I switched to using TOTV exclusively on my iPad!
