I think I’ve got a virus or malware

This calendar message keeps popping up on my front screen every few hours. (Ignore the WhatsApp messages from this screenshot). How can I get rid of it?

Open your calendar app and tap Calendar at the bottom, if there is a calendar you do NOT know, tap it and delete it. You can also go to Settings -> Calendar -> Accounts. If there is an account you do not know, delete it immediately.

On some websites there are pop ups where there are invitations to participate in a kind of "SPAM calendar" you have clicked add without thinking about it. I have tried it myself and you just delete it again
