Calendar Virus

Question

Calendar Virus

My iPhone 7 calendar shows a reminder that says “your iPhone is not protected click to protect” There’s like 5 reminders set under subscriptions in the calendar and if I open it there is this web address: http://protection-fixer.fun/47sHG88 and when I click on that it takes me to a page that looks like an iOS update but you can’t click on anything what would normally take you to other stuff if likes a dummy page. i can’t delete any of them out of calendar all it will let me do is turn off the notifications. I don’t have a Mac or a desktop so I can’t access calendar in iCloud.

That is a Rogue Calendar account. Go to Settings-->>Passwords & Accounts and under Accounts see if an unknown calendar account is listed. If it is then tap on it and then Delete account.

Note that it is not a virus. It is something that got added to your calendar because you may have accepted an offer from a pop-up on a website unknowingly. Please be careful out there,

Good Luck.

In the future, never click (or call) anything in similar messages. They’re phishing scams that are trying to trick you into divulging private information.
