Can the iPhone 5 get a computer virus?
I was just looking around this website to see if I could watch a movie, and when I went to search it, it opened up 8 tabs and they kept moving and I couldn't stop them until just now (hope that makes sense). I'm scares it could have been a virus. Can iPhone 5 get viruses?
Nope!
Don't feel secure.iphones can get viruses, usually from emails. What you experienced is called spam and in most cases does not install anything nefarious. They are just looking for web hits to sell advertising.
Only if it's jailbroken.
If you are worried, just restore the iphone and that should get rid of all of your nasty stuff.
You can only install through the appstore so its really safe, you are just looking at website stuff that isn't installed on the phone… No big deal.
Absolutely not, it can't get computer virus. It may however get malicious app but still it's very unlikely.
- Will other computer be infected by virus through my iPhone 4 and iCloud? My old laptop (windows) have some virus, but I already delete it. And I reformat my laptop, and I have iTunes and connected to my iPhone 4. So if I buy a new laptop wether it is Mac or windows Will it be infected to a virus?
- Is tbere any major différence between thé iPhone 6 and the 6s? Whooppeee is Xmas again and my daughter wants new 2nd hand) iPhone… 2 years ago almost bought her 5 before i réaliséd that it was 5s she wanted ( cos thé 5 sucks?) And I don't want to screw up this year…
- Is it possible to get computer virus on your iPhone if you use it to surf the net? What is the best way to get rid of computer virus on your cell phone? Would it be possible to install a miniature version of Malwarebytes onto iPhone to quarantine/delete computer virus?
- 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.
