My 4s keeps freezing, shutting down apps and all my social media accounts have been hacked. Every indication is that I have malware. Is there a scan I can do to know for sure and to remove?

If the phone is not jailbroken, then it not infected. There is no malware that can affect a non-jailbroken iPhone.


It's likely that the problems with the phone freezing and apps closing on their own are completely unrelated to your social media accounts having been compromised.


Standard troubleshooting for the phone is

Re-boot

Restore

Restore as new.


As for your social media accounts, change your passwords immediately.


Have you tried any of this?
