How to get rid of an iPhone virus?
My ex boyfriend jail broke my iPhone without my permission, which I heard makes it vulnerable to viruses… We're broken up now & if I click on a certain song in my library, it'll play a different one, but have the different title. It's kind of hard to explain, but the music is really messed up: c my friend says it's a virus & I need to erase everything to get rid of it but she's not really a computer expert.
Please only answer if you know what you're talking about, I really need this fixed /: thanks!
Sounds like a virus. You have to take it to the apple store
Either:
1) Restore Your iPhone via iTunes & follow instructions: http://support.apple.com/.../kb/ht1414 if that does not work try option 2:
2) http://www.sevacall.com/blog/2012/10/s/computer-repair/how-to-get-rid-of-an-iphone-virus/ gives you several options that should work if not try option 3:
3) if those above don't work take it to your nearest apple store
This is why I wouldn't jailbreak an iphone, they are by far the safest phones because all code in the appstore is reviewed first, so no chance of viruses… Unless of course you jailbreak and start installing from anywhere like that.
- Should I get rid of my iPhone and get a basic phone? I've had an iPhone for 2 years, and my contract runs out 9/2/12, should I get a 4s or a Pantech Jest 2? I want to save my dad money, and all I really use my iPhone for is music and Facebook. My friends say I should stick with my iPhone, but I don't know… Share your input, thanks
- If an iPhone somehow got a virus, what would stop that virus from spreading to the recovery image? If an iPhone got a virus, couldn't it just spread to the recovery image? I don't mean where you connect the iPhone to your computer and restore through iTunes. I mean the restore image that is actually on the iPhone.
- I have a iPhone and my safari froze when a pop up asked me to call this number to get rid of a virus so I don't know if I have a virus or no? So today I was looking for music online and this pop up came up and froze my browser and it asked me to call this number but I didn't and hit cancel and cleared my history and I restarted my phone cause it acted slow so I don't know if I have a virus or not
