iPhone Virus

It isn't a virus, it is a browser hijack and it can happen on reputable sites. Double-click your home button, find Safari and slide up to remove it from the recently used list. The Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data.

There is no virus on your phone.

Apple does not alert you of viruses, malware, or other system risks. In fact, the iOS on an iPhone is very secure and unless you have jail broken the device, you will not get a virus.

What you see is adware, and was likely triggered by visiting a website that has some kind of coding to throw a pop-up at you. This is intended to generate revenue for someone either by the ad popping up in the first place, or by scaring you into doing calling a provided number and paying for support.

You can get rid of the message by force closing safari (double tap the home button, then swipe Safari off your screen) and clearing its history and caches (under Settings > Safari > Clear history and website data).

Also, be mindful of the sites you visit.

Hope that helps!

Good afternoon cyberton03

It's hard to say if it's a the real thing that pops up for you!

I can recommend to activate popupblocker

You find it under settings/ safari!

And I would like to recommend to not press unknown links

iPhones don't get viruses, that's how I know. The iOS software is super secure. Unless you've jailbroken tge iPhone, and subsequently removed the built-in protections Apple codes into the software, you most certainly do not have a virus.

Plus, the message you're receiving now is a common error if a website has trouble loading. Restart your iPhone and double check your network connections if sites are having trouble, then try again.

It's a scam. It's only a pop-up. You can follow the advice in this Apple Support Topic to get rid of it.

It's fake. The only time a message warning of malware in a Mac OS X or iOS web browser will be legitimate is if it appears in response to manually uploading a file.

Any such message claiming that your device is infected from over the network are always scams. Someone on the network is not capable of telling what you are running.
