Using my iPhone to sign into Facebook, I get a popup message from blackbreak.***

Congratulations Fairpoint Communications Customer! Your iPhone has been randomly selected to receive a courtesy $1000 Gift Card!

The only option is to select OK

I'm afraid that this will install malware.

How can I get around this?

Sorry.


iDevice Safari Phishing Adware Pop-ups


Your device does not have a virus. You can fix this as follows:


Kill Safari by double-tapping on the Home button. Locate Safari in the task bar, then slide the Safari mini-page upwards so it vanishes.


Tap Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data. Next, locate Security section and slide the “Block Pop-Ups” switch to the On position.


Press the Home button to return to your Home screen.


If this doesn’t help, then reset your device. It won't delete your data. Press and hold down the On/Off button and the Home button until the display turns off and returns with the Apple logo showing.


Alternatively, follow these instructions to reset your device: Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support.

I hope this helps..if so credit Kappy.
