How do I diagnose and remove iPhone viruses?

I think my iPhone (iOS8) has a virus.  There is a noticeable decrease in the battery life.  Also, the Lifelock app popped up, giving a warning.
I tried downloading Avira (I use it on laptop), but it apparently isn't available.
I need something that will scan, diagnose and remove the virus(es).  Any suggestions?

The only possible ways to get a virus are:
-Jailbreak
-Downloading an app that is not from the App Store.
Other than that, your iPhone is fine.

  • How do I scan and remove a virus from my iPad?

    MY  iPad  has been having many bad things go on like only one of the speakers works, videos are all messed up into thousands of miniature squares that are obviously not meant to be that way.  When I type it won't type as fast as my fingers and I type rather slowly.  It will be loading an unlabeled and un identifiable  something with and without the internet on even when all of the applications are closed. 
      Do these these things stand for that somebody is pirating my information or uploading stuff without permission?  Who can help out with the issues without it being unaffordable?  Please offer me plenty of ideas and options to save things before replacements are demanded.  The problems are the same in my iPhone 4S.  Might this mean that I have it in my iCloud Account?

    If the iOS devices have not been jailbroken or hacked, they cannot get a virus...there are none for the iOS devices.  You may be experiencing overload of the system or hardware problems.  To see if it is a system overload, double click the home button and dismiss each app by swiping the material above the app icon up and off the top of the screen.  That terminates the app and dismisses it.
    Then reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.
    Then see if the bad behavior continues.  If it does, visit an Apple store genius bar and have the techs run their diagnostics to see if the hardware has problems.

  • How can I find and remove duplicate photos from my computer?

    How can I find and remove duplicate photos from my computer?

    Terence,
    Yes, the duplicates appear in the iPhoto window. I have folders with same name occuring two or even three times sometimes with exactly the same set of photos (ie photos with the same ID) and sometimes with a limited set of photos. Other  folders appear only once.
    I normally take my MacBook with me if I'm shooting a lot of photos, such as on holiday, and then want to transfer them to my iMac when i get home. Other times I transfer the camera's memory stick directly to my iMac.
    I have great difficulty transferring the photos from my MacBook to my iMac. I don't want to store my photos on my iDisk due to the length of time it takes to upload them.
    Thanks again.

  • How do I add and remove mp3s from my iPhone?

    I've forgotten again how to add and remove mp3s from my iPhone.  Can someone please remind me?  I am an iTunes subscriber using a PC running Windows 7 and iTunes 11.1.

    Make sure you have iTunes 11.1.1 installed on your computer.
    Plug your iPhone into your computer.
    Open iTunes. Create a new Playlist and name it whatever you want. I use iPhone Sync.
    Go to your Music Library, click and drag the music you want into your new Playlist.
    Click on your iPhone along the top right. Click on Music and select Sync Music and choose just the new Playlist.
    Click on the Sync button on the bottom right of the iTunes screen.

  • How can I find and remove viruses from my mac

    I fear that I might have a virus on my beloved macbook pro. i message was spassing out and not sending my messages, my folders continue to dissapear from my desktop causing me to restart finder (not a big deal just annoying) and some other out-of-place things are happening. I don't like credit cards so i can't buy any intvirus software so I was curious to know if there is a way to search for, find, and remove this potential virus on my own.

    Apple provides and updates malware protection as part of the operating system functionality. There is no application you need to run. In using Macs in the corporate world and privately over the last 20+ years, the only malware that got into a Mac came from a shared MS Word document. That was in 1994.
    Everytime that I chose to run a commercial or opensource anti-virus tool, a full sweep showed no infections.
    There may be other systemic issues with your Mac that are the root cause for what you describe. As a baseline, I would do the following:
    Run /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility. On your boot disk, choose First Aid, and verify/repair permissions.
    Reboot your Mac. Immediately press and hold the shift key until a login screen appears. Enter your login name, your password, and before continuing, press and hold the shift key again, until your desktop reappears.
    Reboot normally.
    What effect do the above have on the problems you mentioned?

  • How do I add and remove text in a text field with a checkbox?

    How do I add and/or remove text in a text field with a checkbox?
    this is my script in the text box......
    event.value="Hello, this is my narrative. \r\n\nFamily: \r\n\n" + this get.Field("FirstName").value + " " + this.getField("LastName").value + was born on"=this.getField("DOB.value + "\r\n\n + this.getField("drpField").value + "\r\n\n" + this getField("Father").value
    The text box looks like this...
    Hello, this is my narrative.
    FAMILY:
    John Smith was born on 08/02/2000
    Boby Lou
    Jack Smith
    I need to add/or remove the father field (Jack Smith) & r/n/n with a check box.
    Does anyone know how to do this?

    There are multiple errors in your code...
    Use this code instead (adjust the name of the check-box):
    var msg = "Hello, this is my narrative. \r\n\nFamily: \r\n\n" + this get.Field("FirstName").value + " " + this.getField("LastName").value + was born on" + this.getField("DOB.value) + "\r\n\n" + this.getField("drpField").value;
    if (this.getField("FatherCheckBox").value!="Off")
         msg += "\r\n\n" + this getField("Father").value;
    event.value = msg;
