iPad Virus
Not sure if this is the right place for this question but as a new user I am unsure where to post it.
Anyway to the problem! I bought my wife an iPad for Xmas and she has been using it pretty much everyday since with no problems. However last week she suddenly started getting blank pages when accessing an app through the internet! This has now spread from the particular app and is now affecting Safari. From a bit of research it appears that this is the "Aboutblank!" virus. There is a lot of discussion on the net about this but not much on how to get rid of it.
My macbook which I used to get the iPad running is fine and the iPad was great until she uploaded this app.
Question is: Is this the first instance of a virus on the iPad? How the heck do we get rid of it? Went to my local Apple store and they were no help at all! Is it a virus at all? I thought all apps would be screened to prevent virus infection?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
