Does my iPhone have a virus? - 3
I remember a couple months again, safari said that I had a virus and I may or may not have clicke ether button to fix it. I know these pop ups are a scam now and today another one popped while I was using google. I didn't click on the "install" button. I'm really scared I have a virus because if I do, i would restart my whole phone. There aren't really any signs that I ha e virus other than that in my recent phone calls, it said I called someone that I really didn't. But that's really pretty much it.
It's very difficult to get a virus on your iOS device through Safari. What you saw is called scareware. It tries to "scare" you into believe that you do have a virus and that you need to call a fake tech support number that will fix your phone for a "nominal" fee of a few hundred dollars.
Clear your history and cache. And plus, you're more likely to see these kinds of scams if you visit shady sites…
No… There's no virus.
Also the word would be reset, not restart the phone. Two different things.
- Iphone doesn't want to connect to Wi-Fi. Does it have a virus? I have a black iPhone 4s. It can't search for nearby Wi-Fi signals. When I open the control panel the Wi-Fi icon circle is blacked out when I touch it says [Wi-Fi not available]. When I go to settings it won't let me swipe to turn on the Wi-Fi signal. I can still go on the internet using my data. My iPhone is not jail broken. I have turned off and on my iPhone multiple times. I let the battery die. And I have also restarted it multiple times. Bluetooth also doesn't work.
- 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
