Have you read any of the replies above?

All, and I do mean all such messages are scams. Always have been, always will be.

Hi Bob, indeed, it is even worse: it looks like this: after someone new has posted he does not read the answers on his post.

I have already acted several times to not follow this thread, but even that has not succeeded, the next day I am again "following" ???

Perhaps it's a virus.

Probably, especially if there was a pop up or email saying it was.

I got a pop up that said I had “36 virus” that’s if I don’t download a app to help it it’ll make my battery damage because of the virus, has that happen to anyone else of just me?...

Just you.

I have a worm on my computer that attached to my computer and 2!iPads. I can see this being blocked like my iCloud and one drive how do I remove it is controlling my iCloud

No, you don't.

You may have installed Adware. Try removing it with EtreCheck.

I had the same issue it said that I my iPhone was infected with 27 viruses from using a “Adult” website which I never did and it brought me to a VPN app to download. So I asked my dad he said that he had similar issues when he was young and it was a spam. So I’m pretty sure it’s just spam can I have some feedback thx.

i also received the same massage and below the page was written " Detected by Apple " and I have 3 virus , should I believe it ? what i must do ? , I searched for virus scanner and i couldn't find the one who scan the device it's self , so what i must do ?

I didn’t catch the correct name of the website, but it was Paul Begley (sp?) When I did a search, the wrong website came up; I changed the spelling of the last name, and then I got the “warning”. I didn’t try it again.

And then you made things worse by installing completely useless software. Get rid of Norton. Ignore such scam sites and popups. They are - every single one of them - a scam. Just close the page and move on.

No viruses on iOS? Maybe. But certainly phishing pop-ups and emails. A link on my own website has been hacked to take viewers to gambling websites. So I will continue with anti-virus software - belt and braces.

That's just your site that has been hacked. You can insert JavaScript to redirect anything to anywhere. The problem is not on the iPhone. The problem is on your website. That is what this whole thread, all 27 pages, is about. It's not on your computer, it is on the website.

I don’t know why you feel the need to argue with me on this! I responded to a message, saying I had the same problem, and stating what I did. That’s all.

Your reply is completely unrelated to the subject of this ancient Discussion, which ought to be retired since it was correctly answered within two minutes of it having been posted. Yet hapless users continue to come across it two years later.

The reason people continue to ask that question after all this time demonstrates a degree of ineptitude so colossal I would have thought it impossible among sentient beings, let alone supposedly competent users of technologically sophisticated equipment. Until recently that is.

If you are experiencing a problem with your iPhone then you need to create your own Discussion.

Ignore and move on yes - but I won’t get rid of Norton!

Your devices will never work properly with such junk installed.

I don't know why posters like alana102 post in these communities. Twenty seven pages of "me too" posts then alana102 posts "me too". But alana102 is not going to follow the advice provided. I wonder why post if the advice provided is not followed.

But certainly phishing pop-ups and emails.

Neither is malware of any kind. It's social engineering. i.e. , getting the user to believe in false claims. You're either smart enough to figure out it's a scam, or you aren't. No software is going to protect you from yourself.

A link on my own website has been hacked to take viewers to gambling websites.

So secure your website with a much more difficult to guess/hack password. This, again, has nothing to do with any kind of malware. You made it a bit too easy for someone to gain access to your web space.

So I will continue with anti-virus software…

And so you will continue to completely waste system resources looking for something that doesn't exist. Good plan.
