I am annoyed and frustrated by installing this tweak called as Watusi and WESender, one of the tweaks has injected some kind of browser hi-jacker which shows advertises after opening applications or it just shows up on home screen. It doesn't close , it takes all the space of screen and i can tap nowhere plus there's this 'x' button but it's of no use. It doesn't even close.

Please help me out. Yes i did get rid of those 2 tweaks i installed but still i am facing this problem.

 

Your time and help would be greatly appreciate!

 

Thank You!

Try to check if those tweaks created a .plist and .dylib file on mobileSubstrate so they access advertisements on springboard.  :mellow:

how, can you please tell me the path?

Sure, with any file explorer (iFile, etc.) go to: /Library/MobileSubstrate/DynamicLibraries.

 

There you will find 2 types of files (and even some folders), you should recognize those you have installed..

You should recognize those tweaks you have installed, like "Activator" for example,. And those you don't know, look them up on Google to check if they are malware or not.

Just reinstall them, go to cydia, package page, scroll down until you see "installed files" or something like that and delete manually everything just to be sure, then uninstall the package from cydia

I didn't mean delete all the tweaks, I mean like go to the let's say Watusi page and scroll down on it, it will show a button saying something like show installed files, just tap on it and it will show you what that tweak installed on your file system
