Q: I've acquired ipad malware -how to remove?
Safari is completely frozen - a tab displays the following message:
iOS server error:
Warning - IOS - crash report
Due to a third party application in your iphone or iPad, ios crashed
Contact support for an immediate fix
1-877-908-****
So... the question is, how to remove? I'm sure the phone # is a scam of some kind.
Since safari is completely unresponsive, I can't get into my history to remove.
I have turned the ipad on and off - no joy.
My thought is that I will need to restore the factory defaults on the iPad and then restore it with my own stuff, but I am very nervous about synching right now, given what's happened with the browser.
Has anyone else experienced a similar problem? Is it considered safe to synch my iPad and wipe it?
Thanks!
Russ
