Virus in my calander

There is a virus in my calendar of my iPhone pro 11 and it pops up every hour and tells me to go to the App Store and down load apps such as ProtectAd and Ivacy VPN but I didn't down load them!

I can't erase this from my calendar. What should I do to get rid of this malware?

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 13

Use Malwarebytes:

You will not get a virus on your iPhone. As for malware, download Malwarebytes. Update it, scan with it, and then remove what is found from the quarantine. That is software developed by longtime users of these forums, making it trustworthy.


Download Malwarebytes from the App Store on your iPhone.

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.
