How to check if I have a virus on my iPhone?
I would like to know if there's a way of checking if my iPhone has a virus. I use a site called Putlocker to watch movies and tv shows. That site has lots of pop ups. Few pop ups go something like "Congratulations you have been hand picked by Facebook to win a prize" then I have to click OK (no cancel button)
Anyways my Mom said she watched on the news a while back about something similar like that, only it was a text message and the individuals information were stolen when they clicked on the link.
Now I don't fall for those kind of stuff, but I'm still worried that my phone could have a virus. I have a iPhone 5s IOS version 8.3. Can my service provider (Boost Mobile) do something or will I just be wasting money and time?
You can probably download an antivirus from the App store, but I have none to recommend.
Just so you know, you're more likely to come across these sites by watching content illegally *hint*hint*.
Go to the app store and look for an antivirus.
IPhones don't get viruses. Boom. I just blew your mind. True stuff though.
Install virus scan apps
- 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
