    Hello everyone, I'm writing because yesterday I was on my iphone and suddenly it appeared a sign that my phone had a virus and that I needed to click ok so that would redirect me to another page, and I tried to close that window because I thought it was just advertisement but i couldn't close it. So I clicked ok and it sent me to another page so then I closed it. My question is: Is there any chance that a virus got into my phone and how can I know? and my other question: If I just clicked "ok" because I needed to close that window but I didn't clicked in the page it opened, can my iphone get infected? or something like that, for example my personal sutff :s

    No, you don't have a virus. 99.9% sure. Next time you see those, don't click them, they're usually scams and get you infected.

    On an iPhone? I very much doubt it. I wouldn't worry about it. :slight_smile:

    Apple devices don't get viruses if I'm not mistaken.

    Apple Devices do get viruses even Macs. Hackers just don't bother writing viruses for the Mac since the market share is so low, iPhone and Android device viruses are rare as well, but they do exist. If you are that concerned about it you can Anti-Virus app that'll scan your phone

    No your iPhone is definitely safe. Download avg security on the app store that's more reliable. I always get them popups, don't bother with them they are full of scams and viruses along with Trojan horses.

    Haha those ads are to mislead suckers. They are trying to get you to click on the message to direct you to some malicious ad. iPhones do not have virus scanners built in.

    A very incorrect statement that's very often told. :dry::eusa_naug
