How can you get rid of a virus on my ipad

Every time I go on safari or chrome I get a message pop up to state my flash player is out of date.


I know this is a virus of sorts but how do I get rid of the issue

iPad 2, iOS 7.0.6

It's a scam. Ignore it.

Can you post a screenshot of the popup and warnings? Take a screenshot by pressing both the Sleep / Wake and Home buttons simultaneously. It will appear in Photos. Email it to yourself or find some other way to get it on a computer, from which you can attach a screenshot using the "camera" icon. Unfortunately that icon doesn't appear when you're using this site on an iPad.


Alternately, post it to some photo sharing site and post the link to it.
