iPhone infected?

I opened an attachment in an email on my iPhone of someone who has been hacked. What should I do?

Simply open the attachments. How do you know that your iPhone is infected?

What symptoms are you experiencing?

    No, there is no virus in the wild for iOS. This popup is just a scam to try to get you to reveal personal information. Quit Safari and go to safari settings and delete cookies and clear history and cache.

  • My iPhone 4S can be infected by malware?

    Hello:

    A few days ago I received a notification on my iPhone 4S that my unit can have been infected by a 'virus '.  The notification advised that I update to iOS 9.3 but is not available to me in the settings (it was my understanding that such update has yet to be released, in any case).  Should I worry that my iPhone has a virus, and if so, what measures should be taken to remedy the problem?  I have yet to notice any suspicious behavior on the part of my iPhone.

    Thank you.

    No, all this popup message will be a scam.

    Unless you have jailbroken your iOS devices, there are no viruses that can infect them. Sounds like PayPal tries to return the ball.

Is it possible to know when and how did the jailbreak happens (date of installation of the data of jailbreaking etc.)? Cydia is not yet installed.

  • How to clean up after XcodeGhost malware (iPhone)?

    Hi all

    How can you clean up after XcodeGhost on iPhone (not jailbroken)? I had one of the applications...

    If I reset to factory settings, how do I re - import my contacts with a backup or other means without the malware again? The infected application is probably in the backup, even if I deleted the application now.

    Thank you!

    Apps are not included in the backup file. That their data is not in the backup. Apps are loaded from the source of Apple.

  • Re: Audio on iPhones

    Hello..

    Hearing impaired by too many ear infections as a child for hearing aids to work for me.

    Is there audio apps for the iPhone that can do audio more clear?

    Suggestions welcome!

    Carolyn:

    I am deaf in both ears. The noise in my right ear is very similar to what comes out of a blown speaker. In other words, the sound is very 'muddy' or unclear. I wear Starkey Halo i110s.

    My hearing is not more clear. All hearing aids can do is make it sound stronger.

    I fear that the possibility of an application making clearer sound is probably quite low.

    There is an app, I've found that helps with music - SoundFocus (SoundFocus). You grant your ear headset, headphones or external speakers. I use it when I'm on a plane.

  • I clicked ok for a "you have won" pop - up of my safari on my Iphone...

    I clicked ok for a "you have won" pop - up of my safari. Immediately, I realized my mistake and closed the page.  I woke the next morning to find an email from my yahoo email user name but a different domain address.  I then found my Facebook application to redirect me to the same ad "you have won".   I cleared my history of brower and then changed my password for my email and Facebook. Then I discovered my contacts in my yahoo address book got emails also.  I have since made a factory reset on my phone and started a new e-mail address. Is this enough? Could there be a virus on my Iphone 6?  Do I need to worry about my apple account and bank accounts?

    The only way that a virus can infect an iPhone is if it was jailbroken and I doubt that you have done this. Otherwise no virus. You have taken the correct steps of deletion of your data and the browser history and change passwords. I would like to change the password for your account Apple and if your bank accounts use the same PW or you bank details in your emails I would change the PWs Bank also. There is nothing to lose to.

    About the incident, two things come to mind. First the pop up. If everything you did is, click on it and entered any information, then they got nothing. Simply, they planted a cookie in your browser that you deleted by deleting the history and data. Second, your e-mail account. Your e-mail may have been compromised (I do not see how by just the pop up if you don't have all the data, it could be a coincidence) OR a person you know and has you in their address book of pirate computer e-mail. It is easy to steal e-mail addresses and send emails to contacts that appear to come from you.

    After changing the PWs I would just keep an eye on your bank accounts. E-mails unwanted or pop ups are not a concern at this point, just don't click the links or enter any info...  Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • Should I install a security on my iPhone and iPad application?

    My home network was infected by koobface.  Fortunately, Safari locked my iPad and told me to contact Apple support.  It was discovered that my wi - fi has been infected.  Is there antivirus protection, should I install on my iPhone and iPad?

    N ° there is no knowledge of viruses that can affect an iOS device. Everything you put on to try to ensure safety 'extra' will only bog down your performance and likely to cause problems with your device. Just be smart about where and how you browse the internet, what links you click on, what did you download and you will have no problems.

    See you soon,.
