Will I get an iPhone virus?
I was scrolling through answers on this and accidentally clicked on a link which took me to a random page (It didn't load in time for me to see what it was) and I got a pop up saying 'Congrats you're the new winner of an iPhone' or something along those lines and I didn't click on anything I just deleted the web browser page, will I get a virus from this? I'm really panicking about it so please help.
No you won't.
You won't get a virus, it was just a fake advertisement trying to scam people. Whenever you see anything like that, whether it be for an iPhone or a PS4, simply close the website and you're all good.
No…
Just spam.
- Is there an anti virus or malware scan I can get on my iPhone 4? Is there an anti virus or malware scan for the iPhone 4 that I can get from the apple store? If so what's the name? Also is there something I can get to stop ads poppin up on games?
- Is it possible to get a virus on the iPhone 4s? Well since it is touch screen I constantly go on websites I accidentally click. I want to know: 1) Is photocaption.org safe? 2) If you don't let a page load could it give you a virus? For example if you click a link and then it begins to load but before it actually shows the page you click back. 3) What is pintrest? My iPhone is not jailbroken.
- 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
