Does my iPhone 4 have a virus?

While I was brousing the internet using the google crome app on my iphone 4 a message window opened that said one of the website I recently vidited infected me with a virus and to press ok to remove it (this window looked like a apple notification).  After I pressed ok because it was the only way to get out that, I saw another tab had oppened saying that I had a virus.  I forget the name but I do remember it started with a "t".  This page asked me to download something to remove the virus and protect my phone from future viruses.  Do I actually have a virus or was this a scam? I am running iOS 6.0.1

Its a complete scam. There are no know viruses for iPhones at this time.
Additionally downloading something over Safari is a clear indication its a scam as you can only download and install applications from the App Store and nowhere else, and Apple screens all Apps submitted to the store before allowing them to be published.
Currently there are no Anti virus Apps either because due to the nature of the operating system, all they can do is scan emails on demand.  That is you have to manually initiate the scanning process because Apps cannot access the general phone file system to scan nor can they access the files from other Apps.

    The CDMA iPhone 4 does not use a SIM at all. There is no SIM slot. It is a pure CDMA phone.

  • Does the iPhone 4S have a shutter on the camera?

    A month or so back my iPhone camera had something half blocking the lens. I was just wondering, is this the camera shutter? Or does the iPhone even have a shutter?

    It has a virtual shutter... but there is nothing physical other than a case or possibly your finger to block the lens.

      does the iphone 4s have a voice assisted gps system when io6 is downloaded onto the phone?

    The iPhone has NEVER had an International Warranty. The warranty terms state, quite clearly, that Apple "may" restrict warranty & support to the country of original purchase. The only exception, are iPhones purchased in the EU, where the iPhone warranty is EU wide.
    You purchase an iPhone in Singapore, & you will have to return it to Singapore for all warranty & support issues.
    For iPhones out of warranty, Apple has an out of warranty replacement program.

    does the iphone 5 have gorilla glass?

    Apple has not said what the screen is made of nor the vendor of the material. Most likely it is a an aluminosilicate glass from some vendor, but whether it's from Corning or some other glassmaker is unknown.

  • Does the iPhone 5 have Flash

    Does the iPhone 5 Have Flash?

    The Puffin browser, available in the app store for a few bucks runs flash via a workaround.  You can get a free trial version which will run flash for 14 days so you can see if it does what you need.  A side benefit of Puffin, is that it displays full web sites, not the mobile web sites.  This is very useful for some purposes such as banking options not available on mobile.  I got it for a trip I was taking, and still use it from time to time when a site doesn't display properly on Safari.

  • Does the iPhone 5 have message access profile

    Does the iPhone 5 have MAP message access profile?

    Not sure; I haven't seen any documentation on it but I assume it would work for the 3GS or higher.  (Doesn't look like this has been updated to include the MAP feature: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647.)

  • HT4528 Does the iphone 4 have a sim card tray, and if so where is it.

    Does the iphone 4 have a sim card tray, and if so where

    I you have an iPhone you have it ALL!
    OK I think I can help you on this one, I think there is a missconception on the terminology, if the iPhone is from AT&T it does have a SIM card tray, you will find it on the left side of the iPhone. All you need is the key insert it in the little hole and it pops out.
    If the iPhone 4 is from Verizon it DOES NOT have a sim card tray.
    What the sales person told your sister is accurate, the iPhone does not have a slot for an SD card which is an "storage" card mainly used to store all sorts of data such as pictures, videos and more.
    Locally the iphone has lots of storage capacity so your sister wont have the necesity of ever expanding her cellphone memory for the very reason of that she has the best cellular device in the market which is an IPHONE!
    I don't think she will ever fill up her iphone's memory.
    Here is what I found in effort to expand the differences between the SD card and SIM card
    -Secure Digital (SD) is a non-volatile memory card format developed by Panasonic, SanDisk, and Toshiba for use in portable devices to store data.
    -A subscriber identity module or subscriber identification module (SIM) is an integrated circuit that securely stores the international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) and the related key used to identify and authenticate subscribers on mobile telephony devices (such as mobile phones andcomputers).
    I hope this helps your sister.

    I don't mean to drive a Marine crazy, but there is no such thing as a standard keyboard. Especially tiny ones. Looks at a phone key pad, and then look at a calulator keypad. It is flipped top to bottom.
    JajLvr, if it drives you crasy, then get a BT keyboard.

    Agreed.  Even the iPhone has multiple built-in keyboards to choose from.

  • Every time i click on a link another random link pops up in a new window. Does this mean i have a virus on my mac?

    every time i click on a link another random link pops up in a new window. Does this mean i have a virus on my mac?

    No; it means that the computer has adware. Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

    The only iPhone that will display a "4G" indicator is the AT&T iPhone 4S when connected to AT&T's HSPA+ network. The iPhone 4 is not a 4G phone.
    Also, the AT&T iPhone 4S will say 4G even if it is a 3G area.
    Mine will only indicate E (2G) or 4G.  It never ever shows
    3G, even when in known 3G location.
