Today I accidentally clicked on an advertisement in the ask.fm app, and it redirected me to an app in the app store. I didn't download anything, I just closed the app store. Should I be concerned about malware or viruses now?
My iPhone isn't jailbroken, by the way.
iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.6
Thanks for your reply. I was worrying because recently there have been some news about new iOS-malware flying around. Pff, those advertisements are annoying as ****.
You should not be worried at all. Your phone is still virus free 🙂
Cheers 🙂
There's no need to be worried my friend,ads will not get your phone infected 🙂 You're safe.
Hope I helped with my answer 🙂
I already thought that my iPhone couldn't be infected because it was an advertisement for an app that redirected to the app store. Should be safe I guess.
You are safe. Ads redirecting you to apple store cannot infect your phone at all. Just dont download those apps it directs you to. I guarantee you, your phone is 100% malware and spyware free 🙂
Good pm! I accidentally touches the "download this app"( not itunes or apps store ) from other website, can i get a virus from it? Im using iphone 4 not jailbroken.

No.
Accidentally clicked on an advertisement in the ask.fm app, should I worry about viruses?
