My wife visited specific website on our iPad Air v11.2.1 and received message that the iPad had been infected with 6 viruses which may infect other devices. She closed message and shut device down. How can I determine if the iPad has in fact been infected.
Cheers B.
If this was an email, it is also to be ignored. Regardless of how this message appeared, it's a flat out lie. Unless you've jailbroken the device, it is just short of impossible to infect an iOS device.

Hi. There are no known iPad viruses. This popup ad is a common scam, asking you to call a phone number and pay for assistance. You should ignore it.
Thank you for comment Brian. Will clear down as advised. Did restore from earlier backup as precaution.
Cheers.

Hi
Unless iPhone has been jail broken it cannot get a virus.
Turn ipad on go to settings down to Safari delete history and data.
This will just be a SCAM to get your details.

Thanks, but it isn't simply a matter of trust. I wouldn't make such a statement if it hadn't been proven to be true many times over.
