Antivirus and Antimalware programs

Apple iPhone - Antivirus and Antimalware programs


When I went to use my 3GS today the following message appeared on the screen with a red bar over it:

Your computer remains infected by viruses! They can cause data loss and file damages and need to be fixed as soon as possible. Return to Security Tool & download it to gaurd your PC.

Is this a real message. If there is such a thing as Security Tool I've never been there. (Where is it?) Suggestions please.

Well this would be your pc which is not an iPhone!

You need to run whatever antivirus and antimalware programs you have installed on your pc.

It was just a coincidence that you got the message when you had your 3G connected.

And the warnign you probably got may well have been one of those virus things so do not click on it, run your installed AV program asap!

That's a scam. It's surprising to hear you got that on an iPhone though. I was only aware of that malware on Windows.

I take it this is on your PC, not your iPhone...

That is a fake virus alert, but your pc is infected.

Don't touch it and install and run malwarebytes.org
