If running iOS 13 or earlier versions, 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.

You’re quite welcome.

There was no virus. While the calendar notifications are annoying, they are not an indicator of a virus or hacking.

The entries appeared as a result of accepting an offer from a web site or app to “Send Notifications”.

there were 2 accounts and I deleted one and there aren't any notifications in my calendar already. So does it mean that I deleted the virus? or should I download some virus remover apps? Thanks in advance
