HT1688 how can I tell if my iphone 4 has a virus

does my phone have a virus?

Is it jailbroken?
If it is then the chances are very good it does.
If not then it does not.
Why do you ask?
What is it doing that makes you think it it might?

    Try a SIM from a different carrier.
    Look at the receipt from where the device was purchased.

    How can I find out if my iphone 4s has a virus?

    That's a website redirect, that interfered temporarily with your iPhone.  Doesn't mean there's a virus.  Don't visit that website anymore.
    As far as what jailbroken is, that's when you use a third-party procedure to make an unauthorized modification to the device's operating system.  Don't do that for any reason.  It voids your warranty & support from Apple, and it opens the door to actual malware.

  • How can i tell if my iMac has a virus

    My 8 year old son was told he could watch a film for free i he visited a site called put locker. when he did this, safari opened lots of pop ups to say Contact Apple Support malicious activity.  How do i check if my iMac now has a virus?

    It's not a virus, and there is no reason to download anything. It's a Web scam that only affects your browser, and only temporarily. There are several ways to recover.
    1. Some of those scam pages can be dismissed very easily. Press the key combination command-W to close the tab or window. A huge box will pop up. Press the return key and both the box and the page will close. If that doesn't happen, continue.
    2. Press and hold command-W. You may hear repeating alert sounds. While holding the keys, click the OK button in the popup. A different popup may appear, which you can cancel out of as usual.
    3. From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and uncheck the box marked Enable JavaScript. Leave the preferences dialog open.
    Close the malicious window or tab.
    Re-enable JavaScript and close the preferences dialog.
    4. If the Preferences menu item is grayed out, quit Safari. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. None of the windows and tabs will reopen.
    After closing the malicious page, from the menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.

  • How can I tell if my iPhone has been hacked?

    First off, I have an iPhone 5s with the most recent software.
    Today, out of the blue, my phone started showing the cellular provider as 'Maritime' instead of AT&T. I Googled around and saw some sort of joint venture thing that AT&T has with providing cell service to ships (http://www.wmsatsea.com/) but I'm not sure why all the sudden this would start showing up as my carrier. I went through the usual things to do and restarting my phone seemed to have changed it back to AT&T. I would rather be safe than sorry; I wanna know if this is possibly some sort of residue from a hack.
    Thanks!

    I didn't think there was a way for someone to remotely change something like that but just wanted to put it out there.
    I guess I could have been near a passengar ship, being that I live in Long Beach, CA (tons of cruise ships and international ships in the port of LB) but it was showing 'Maritime' for at least 4 hours. Maybe they were just randomly parked somewhere.
    I called AT&T and they just had me reset my carrier settings (i had already restarted my phone so it did nothing). The only suggestion as to what caused it was that AT&T may have thought my phone was somewhere else. Don't know why that would show another carrier. (which is what made me think it could have been hacked or something simialr). I'm just gonna assume it had something to do with the AT&T's network and all the carriers they piggyback onto their towers.
    Thanks for the response!

  • How can i tell if my iphone is unlocked?

    How can I tell if my Iphone 3GS is unlocked.  I bought it used and it still has ATT info on screens but the seller said it was unlocked.  Is there a test or message somewhere?

    If it is a 3Gs from AT&T it is locked. It could have been "unofficially" unlocked (what iOS version is on it?) but if you upgrade it will relock to AT&T.
    AT&T will not unlock iPhones period. Contact the seller and get your money back.

    how can i tell if my iphone is ios 7

    I heard that there was some type of security breach for iphones that use ios 7 and that users may need to go and do some type of system update.  The security breach meant that people could actually access our email, texts, and even our bank account apps.  Has anyone else heard of this, and if so what is it that we have to do to ensure the security of our phones?

    Sure, with the right equipment/contacts...but, not easily.
    can say Verizon give me this info?
    Nope, Verizon won't help you, at least not without a court order.

  • How can i tell if my iphone 4 has been hacked into?

    Here is the situation.....a friend of mine is in a bad marriage. She found out her husband bugged her laptop and her phone and is finding out all of her conversations. The other day, we were all at a buffet restaurant and he was sitting at the table with us, without thinking anything of it, I left my purse with my phone at the table while all but him went up to the bar. Later on that night, I was in the car with another friend and we were talking in detail about our friends situation. The next day my friend whom I was talking to in the car, checked her answering machine, and our conversation was on her machine. I checked my call log AND detailed billing from AT&T  thinking I may have butt dialed her house, but there is no record of me calling her house. The same with her, she as no record of calling her house and her home phone does not have caller ID. This guy is very tech savy and is the manager of 4 AT&T stores. Is it possible for him to have hacked into my phone and put some sort of bug in it? If this is possible, is it also possible for my phone to be able to record our conversation without a call being placed? If it is possible, how can I tell if my phone has been hacked?
    Thanks

    It would be extremely difficult for someone to be able to grab your iPhone out of your purse and hack into it without having a laptop computer with him with which to jailbreak the iPhone and time to work on it. I can't say it would be impossible, though. I'd suggest as a precaution you perform a Restore on your iPhone; if it restores successfully that would clear any jailbreak and remove any hack.

    How Can I tell if my iPhone is being tracked

    Locations are tracked by cell providers based on the cell towers that have been accessed. You have no control over that type of tracking. If you don't want to be tracked get rid of your cell phone.
