Hello there,
So last night I was reading up on some wrestling news on my iPhone when suddenly the website redirected and I got two pop ups saying my phone has 6 viruses (some Trojan the text is blocking the Trojans name) and to download My Mobile Secure to remove viruses. I'm not sure if this is scareware or a legit virus. I will post both screenshots so you can see. Thank you.

It's a scam. The only time a message warning of malware in a Mac OS X or iOS web browser will be legitimate is if you've just uploaded a file to a website; they cannot scan the devices, but can scan files which were uploaded to them(it's done on the server.)

No hay virus conocidos que afecten iPhones. Si están apareciendo esos mensajes ignoralos.
Puedes abrir Ajustes->Safari->Borrar Historial y Datos , y generalmente ayuda.
Its a scam. There are no known viruses that can affect iOS devices.
You are welcome.
Still a scam. Still no known viruses that can affect non jailbroken iPhones.
I have got the same message tonight also
I followed Eric's instructions, only the clear history and website... line is greyed out. What does this mean? Thank you.
On an iPhone it is never legitimate. Follow Eric's instructions.
Why would you say that about Eric. I sincerely would like to know because I just had something similar happen and I need to know what to do.
Thank You! This is exactly what was needed to get rid of the annoying virus warning.
Mi teléfono le pasa mucho virus
