Virus found in iphone backup

Sorry there are no viruses for a non jailbroken phone.

Is your phone jailbroken?

You need to ask microsoft that question as its their OS that has the virus.

As far as i am aware There is no known virus that can affect an IOS device.

Also this statment by you "Please dont say restore iphone to factory, that is not acceptable because that means I need to start from scratch. If that is the answer I am moving to android platform asap, selling my apple stock and buying samsung."

Is ridiculous. Sorry but its childish and lame. If it bothers you that much then don't use iphone.

Once you remove the virus for your CPU all should be fine. Maybe your backup was just corrupt without a virus?

Virus found in iphone backup

Not really.

Most likely just a false positive from MS Security Essentials.

Your iPhone does not have a virus.

I think you should sell your Apple stock, all your Apple devices and move to Samsung.

I agree. Enjoy the malware and dodgy unmonitored Android Apps.

Apple doesn't need to provide any virus scanner as iphones don't get viruses.

As Chris said before Most likely just a false positive from MS Security Essentials.

There is NO virus!

Please dont say restore iphone to factory, that is not acceptable because that means I need to start from scratch. If that is the answer I am moving to android platform asap, selling my apple stock and buying samsung.

Restore the iphone to factory asap. Good luck with your stock portfolio. Apple's loss, Samsung's gain.

I tryed backup and restore without removing virus from backup and it works fine.

Okay, good.

Apple supports itunes on windows platforms so should provide a way to scan and remove virus from iphone

Since there is no virus on your iPhone...

"Dont be supprised if Apple drops like a Rock"

No surprise at all.

Pretty much gonna go straight to ~$85 on 9 June.

The problem here is that Microsoft Security Essentials is identifying something as a virus that is undoubtedly not actually a virus. Microsoft Security Essentials is corrupting your iPhone backups. How is this Apple's fault, exactly? How, by any stretch of the imagination, will this affect Apple's stock value? Drop the nonsense and start thinking about how to solve the problem.

Hopefully not $85! 😉

$600 (current price) divided by 7 (stock split).
