Virus concern

Yesterday I clicked on an ad and reset my device. My device does not have jailbreak or 3rd party software. How do I know if the device has a virus

As there are no viruses that affect an un-jailbroken iPhone, you don't have a virus. The chances of installing other types of malware on your un-jailbroken phone from clicking on an ad are vanishingly small. The iPhone system software keeps apps isolated from each other.

I would recommend that you make sure you have updated your system software to the latest available version. Updates generally contain important security fixes.
