my phone has a virus

my phone has a virus on the calendar. This all came from me simply searching my own work place on google through safari and my calendar was immediately hacked. Now i have endless calendar notifications asking me to join inappropriate things or gambling games.

Any ideas on how to get rid of this virus please? any help would be much appreciated.

thanks in advance

Virus on Calendar app yesterday I received a notification telling me I got a virus on my calendar. I looked into my calendar app and events I haven’t even made popped up. I get random notifications throughout the day about protecting my phone from viruses. (I haven’t hit any of the events or notifications.) Any advice on how to fix this?

Viruses I think my phone may have a virus. My calendar keeps popping up with notifications of a virus detected. I know it’s not from Apple so I haven’t clicked on anything. What do I do?

If running iOS 13, check: Settings - Passwords & Accounts - Accounts - Any rogue entries here? If so, delete the rogue account.

If running iOS 14, check: Settings - Calendar - Accounts - Any rogue entries here? If so, delete the rogue account.
