Flexispy, E Stealth, Cell Spy, virus removal?

how do you remove Flexispy, e stealth, and/ or cell spy, from the iphone? I've restored my iphone to factory settings, even ended up buying a new iphone4, hoping it would block the virus.

I didn't sync it with my old phone info, that was backed on to my computer.

Everyone is posting "there's no such thing, and iphones can not get viruses" Well unfortunately that's not true.

Restoring it to factory settings does not work. Also having a pass code lock on the phone makes no difference. I went to the apple store and could not find anyone in there, who knew what I was talking about.

Anyone know anything about this spyware?

For those who don't know what it is.. Check it out.

Cover your phone with aluminum foil(I recommend heavy duty), then the roof of your house. Do not leave your house or use your phone for at least a week. The aliens(the ones tracking your phone) will get bored and move on to someone else. It's a known fact that aluminum foil blocks their signals, you can google this to verify such.

The definition of a virus includes the ability to spread from computer to computer or from device to device without the infected user's knowledge. Your iPhone DOES NOT have a virus.

And you know this spyware was installed on your iPhone how exactly?

And the spyware was re-installed on your iPhone after your iPhone was restored with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup how exactly?

I know this much, the spyware was not installed on your iPhone - not from some website - not unless you have hacked your iPhone.

Sounds bad. I'll try washing the device with soap. If that doesn't work, try washing it in a laundry machine or a dish washer. Then let it dry in the sun outdoors for about a week.

Can't promise if the malware will get removed, but this process should (in principle) stop the malware from running.
