How do I find if my phone have a virus and how do I remove it?

It’s just an intrusive bit of adware. It isn’t from Apple. Try this:

• Turn on airplane mode
• open Safari
• tap the overlapped squares in the lower right
• close every page by tapping the x
• Press HOME and wait a couple of seconds
• double-press HOME
• swipe up on the safari image to kill it
• press HOME
• Go to Settings/Safari and tap Clear History and website data
• turn offAirplane mode

Your phone does not have a virus if you didn't jailbreak it. See: Avoid phishing emails, fake ‘virus‘ alerts, phony support calls, and other scams

Scam. Force Quit Safari. Hold down the Shift key and relaunch it.

You'll find two versions. Paid and free. I use the free version on my devices. The paid version doesn't add anything I need.

A couple of things to do when installed.

Open AdGuard itself. Find the option for Annoyances and turn it on.

Installed isn't the same as active. Open Settings > Safari > Content Blockers. Turn AdGuard on.

Now would be a good time to get an ad blocker from the App Store. It would block most junk like this.

I use AdGuard.

HI and thanks - After seeing this the first time (on google page, it popped up), I just shut down the phone thinking it would go away but upon rebooting the phone it is still there, and it hangs up the google browser function . I am not going to say OK and do as it suggests (threatens) but how to deal with this and get rid of it?

thanks

Note that I added to my post above

Thank you!!! SO far, so good...

I did not think it was from Apple but since it was an iphone...I thought someone might have an idea, and you did. Appreciate your help.

Ha, I did not know of such things! Is there one that you recommend or can't I ask that here?

Checking it out right now!

Thank you, I will check it out.

Got it, thanks.
