When using safari on my iPhone, a pop up from google pops up several times a day which is very annoying. It says that there is suspicious activity coming from my IP address and it needs me to do a CAPTCHA (human verification) in order to proceed, theres no X button. Google says this is probably malware. Is this Malware that’s been installed from clicking on a bad website or link? If so how to I fix it?
iPhone 8, iOS 14
Most likely it is malware on sites you visit. However, it’s possible that it’s a JavaScript exploit that was installed in Safari from an ad on a website. See this user tip—>Dealing with Safari popups that won't go away | Communities
One other possibility. How many Safari pages do you have open? Tap on the squares in the lower right corner and close them if you have a lot of open pages.
I only have the one I’m currently using, I usually clear my pages when I’m done using them.
Is there a way to find the potential source of the infection so I know what not to do next time?
So once I reset the history and website data that Java Script will return to normal and everything should be fine?
It should be, as long as you do it while the phone is in Airplane mode.
okay, so my phone does not have malware, it’s most likely at&t and googles terms of services that are causing this to pop up.
That’s the most likely.
Okay thank you for helping out Lawrence.
Good luck! Let us know if the Google warnings stop.
Sounds good.
The google notifications still pop up
Have you tried checking the box?
Yes, I have checked the box, and it then allows me to use the internet again. It’s just really annoying because that page comes up about every 3 google searches I make.
It’s got to have something to do with your carrier. Is the IP address always the same?
I’ve never seen it, but I don’t use Google search as I don’t want all of my searches sold to advertisers.
I haven’t paid attention to the op address being the same, but I will start taking note of it. I’ve wondered if changing my IP address could do anything, do you know if that could fix?
Strange google pop ups?
