Hacked? Malware? Virus? HELP!

If you're phone is jailbroken, the first thing you need to do is restore the phone as new to remove the jailbreak. Then, test. Jailbreaking, in addition to making you vulnerable to malware, also can make the phone unstable.

thats nice. i kept getting mobile strike ads right after. Removed it and haven't had a problems in over a week. Clearly it was that for me. Also I removed several other apps that I had no use. Definitely adware

My point being is usually not that simple. Did the problem return if you reinstalled the lyft app? That would be the only way to test if it was that app, one of the others you removed or something completely different.

Who said you were an idiot?

Again, generalizing from one data point is not always the way to go. In this case, it's far more likely that the problem was related to the jailbreak.

who said I'm jailbroken? Maybe for the OP they maybe. But not for me. Never said you called me an idiot. You were insinuating my incompetence. And this is a discussion board where people with problems come on relate. I had the exact same issue and i fixed it and worked..... Now I'm wasting time with your comments. this the exact reason I don't add input for trolls like yourself

She was referring to the Original Poster (OP) who mentioned it and said his problem was more related to his jailbreak. Of the 5 people I'm currently with who have the Lyfft app none of us have that issue. It is possible an ad link on their site that has since been removed caused yours but their doesn't appear to be any malware in the app.

Connect the Phone to iTunes & Restore to Latest Firmware to Remove these Kind of unusual Issues

Be sure to put your iPhone in DFU mode (Google it) and then Restore it to clear the jailbreak.

it is the lyft app. Remove it.

I have the lyft app on my phone and have never had this problem.
