I have virus on my iphone 4

As there are no know viruses for iOS, you probably don't have one.Don't panic. Let's try some basic troubleshooting. Have you tried completely quitting your browser by double tapping the Home key to bring up your recently running apps, pressing and holding the icon for your browser until it wiggles and then tapping the little red minus sign? Have you tried deleting your cookies and data from the browser? Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data? Have you tried resetting your phone by pressing and holding the Home and power keys until the silver apple appears?

Best of luck.

What was the original web site that you typed in?

As Meg so succinctly said 'there are no known viruses' for IOS devices.

It is very likely your browser (we're assuming Safari) has been hijacked by a site you visited. Her suggestions should clear the problem but in the unlikely event they do not I'd suggest downloading one of the free browsers from the App store and trying that. Atomic Web Browser Lite should prove the point that you do not have a virus.

Glad you got it sorted out!

It might be a little late.. But.. The only way you can get virus on your iPhone is if you jailbreak it. Beside..yadex.ru is a safe site, it's Russian-facebook-email-kinda-site. I know it cause my bestfriend is from Russian, and he use it all the time. So.. There is no virus from that site. And if you haven't jailbreak you iPhone, you can just lean back and relax. :)

I have a similar problem, and the suggestion here fails to correct the problem. On my iphone 3gs, in safari, I typed in a web site url I have visited many times,

mst.edu

Safari redirects it to the following:

www.tsm.mst.edu/?mobile=true

This is the only web site with which I have noticed this issue. I cleared everything, and I closed safari (even in the background), but it still redirects.

That redirect is done by the site. It recognizes that you are using an iPhone and displays the mobile version of site.

You need to contact that website and ask them to not redirect iPhones or use another browser, such as the one mentioned above, and set it to imitate a computer browser.

But then the browser window is blank... nothing shows up. This never happened before. Moreover, what's the deal with the ``tsm''? That's bogus. I just tried something, and if it fixes the problem, then it's hocus pocus in a way: I changed the url shown (after redirect), so that instead of

http://www.tsm.mst.edu/?mobile=true

it reads

https://www.mst.edu/?mobile=true

Then I hit ``go'', and I was directed to the site that I want. Now, if I am badly redirected again, I shall update this story line with that information, but for now (specifically, this current browsing session), I am where I want to be.

The site is mst.edu, as that is the rightmost part of the URL before the "/". So whatever is happening it is happening at the site. The www and tsm are servers within the mst.edu domain. So it is still an error on the part of the webmaster at the site and you should notify them of the error. It isn't your phone, isn't your browser, and isn't a virus.

HELP. iphone 5, iOS 7, Suddenly everytime I try to access a Russian website in the Safari browser, I am redirected to ya.ru (Yandex Russian search engine or some kind of clone of it). I have tried deleting cookies/history (which I never accept anyway), reboot, and reset of network settings, all with no success.

The website works I am going to works just fine on my Macbook Pro. Additionally I can search on this site but it just circles me back to the main page. In fact I DO believe that something has gotten into my phone as all my attemps to prevent this from happening have failed.

See the message above yours. The site doesn't want to hear from you if you are on an iPhone.

up until a few minutes ago it has for several years.

The offical yandex site is yandex.ru, this is a redirect to ya.ru.
