I Think I Got a Virus in My iPhone Please Help

i went to redtubemobile dot com and it took me to a pornographic site and after that, my facebook app keeps giving me blank pop-up everytime i log into my account. what should i do?? im extremely worried.. by the way on the pop up thing, it said m.facebook dot something so that pop up wasn't a pornographic link. this happeneds EVERYTIME i log into my Facebook account on my Facebook app. The Safari is fine when I go to Facebook..just the FB app by itself is doing this. Can someone please help me?

You need to go to your settings in facebook and change around all the settings there and possibly goto the setting on your iPhone and turn on push messaging for the facebook. But I have been told by many people most who are computer GEEKS lol that since the iphone doesn't have an operating system like a regular computer like Windows and so forth that the iphone can't get a virus. I have had a iPhone for over 4yrs now and several people have gotten on it and went to unspeakable websites and such and I have never had a virus. I thought I did but after doing just a couple things my brother told me to do it was fixed. The very first thing I suggest is to do a soft boot and you should do this like every 4-7 days. At exactly the same time, hold the power button (at the top of phone) and the home button (on bottom of face of phone) down until the phone flashes and goes black. You will see an option to slide to the right to shut off but don't do that, just keep holding until you see the little flash and the phone goes black. Wait about 30-45 seconds and the press both buttons again and you will see the apple sign and wait...don't get nervous it takes a little while for it to reboot and to come back on, it is cleaning itself and organizing everything again. I got worried the first time because it took so long but its normal. You will find that you get better signal and a faster phone. Anyhow, when ever you have other problems BE VERY SPECIFIC and GOOGLE the problem. For instance... "Why am I not recieving push notifications from my facebook on my iphone?" I GOOGLE everything. I hope I helped a little.

I think I have a virus on my Mac - Please help!

I've had my iMac for about a year now. In the past few weeks however I have noticed that it is beginning to freeze and run more slowly. I'm getting messages that my startup disk is almost full and when I look at my hard drive, it shows that it is almost full- which is impossible. Also, since today, Safari won't work properly: When I try to open it, hundreds of safari windows open and the whole computer crashes. I downloaded ClamXav from the internet and I ran it and it showed several files which were infected and I deleted all of them. However, I'm pretty sure the problem runs deeper than that. What should I do now, are there any programs e.t.c. which I can download which will rid my computer of the virus?
Thanks in advance

I doubt what you are desribing is a Virus, more likely it's a runaway Log. Here are a few things to work through before you get off into the weeds with chasing a phantom virus.

Trojan virus suspected...please help

I've been reading about PINTSIZED i have found a file in my launch daemons similar to the files stated that are associated with this virus    the files that are shown are as follows...
com.apple.cocoa.plist
cupsd(Mach-O binary)
com.apple.cupsd.plist
com.apple.cups.plist
com.apple.env.plist
now it said to search my library launch agents and daemons and the system library launch agents and daemons.   so i did and i found this file   org.cups.cups.plist in my system library launch daemons....can anyone please tell me if this is an infected file??

All of those are OS X system files. Why do you think you have a virus? What version of OS X do you have, and what is the exact model of your computer? Please describe in detail what is happening to make you think you have a virus.

If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide and AdwareMedic.
Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

At the beginnig when I switch on the mac, on my display appears an image of a world which flickers and then disappears in about five seconds, running the OS normally. What does it mean?. Do I have a virus?... please help!
Thanks.

You don't have a virus since there are no viruses that currently affect or infect OS X which just had its 6th birthday.
Try reselecting your startup volume (or system) at System Preferences > Startup Disk and then perform a restart.

This may be due to adware called GoPhoto.it, which there was a sudden increase in reports about last week. Try the removal instructions here:

Battery running down fast using Yosemite, running the latest update 10.10.2. I think there is bug in this update. Please help me out or is there a way can i switch back to mavericks and how

1. Check the cycle count of the battery against the rated life for your model. The battery may be due for replacement. If the power adapter is connected almost all the time, the battery may need replacing even though the cycle count is not too high.
2. Follow these instructions, or these for OS X 10.8 or earlier.
3. In the Energy Saver preference pane, uncheck the box marked
Enable Power Nap while on battery power
if it's shown (it may not be.)
4. You can also try resetting the SMC.
5. Make sure your system is up to date in Software Update.
6. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

PLEASE HELP!!!!! I THINK I GOT A VIRUS/TROJAN/WORM

Yes this is the first time this has occurred..
I will tell you what happened... Here i go
Ok tonight i sent an im over aim to somebody and they said i sent a link which i didnt and i send another im to another person and they also said i sent a link which i didnt. So i dont know what this is, is it a trojan horse, a virus, or just a worm? I would think it would be a trojan horse. But i asked them what did the link say and they sent it back to me but it didnt register. And she told me that she sent it... Andi didnt think about it being a virus/trojan/worm untill she exited out of the window. Well i asked her what the link was and she said she didnt know. So it i told her if she gets the link again just send it back to me with out the .com so it wouldnt be a link. I am worried that i got one b/c this is the first time this has happened to me since i had my expensive imac. I am running a mac os x version 10.3.9. And i ran a virus scan for my apps with ClamXav so far there hasnt been a virus detected. Can someone PLEASE help me becuase when i tell my dad he is going to kill me if i dont fix it....
Thx alot, Robby

Hi k0rnyfr33k,
This is one of the oldest tricks in the virus writer's bag. When one of these infected e-mails hits a Windows computer, the virus/worm/Trojan automatically copies itself to every person in their address book. At the same time, it uses any one of those names to spoof the "from" address to make it look like it came from somewhere else. So it's an almost 100% certainty that the virus they got came from someone else's computer whom you know who has your e-mail address in their address book. I've gotten such stuff with my own address as the sender. Meaning that I know it came from one of my relatives, friends, or someone else who has my e-mail stored in their address book in Windows.

I think i got a virus!

When i try opening Safari im getting this message and i can go anywhere else. It also wont let me restart or shut down until i "Force Quit". Please help!

I accidentally got a virus on my iPhone and it may have gotten into the iCloud storage, how do I remove the virus OR how do I restore from a back-up that occurred before the virus infected the system?

When I was browsing on Safari on my iPhone, I accidentally got an advertisement where you could not close it out unless you clicked on its pop-up screen. So I clicked yes (Looking back, I should've turned off my iPhone then immediately closed out the ad before it could load), then I closed out immediately. But then things went haywire as the Siri automatically went off without me pressing for it, then the music on the iPod part of my iPhone played randomly and got crazy. So I tried resetting the entire settings and restored at a previous point, but I want to be 100% sure the virus is completely gone. I fear it may have infected the iCloud storage and if I cannot completely wipe out the virus without removing any data that was stored prior to the incident, I want to be able to know how to restore from an older session before the incident happened.
Can you please help me?

If things seem to be going haywire with your phone, it seems that it MAY be a software issue.
Now, that being said, that does not necessarily mean that it is a virus. Software issues do happen sometimes. It is probably just coincidence.
What you need to do is restore the device using iTunes. This will fix any software issues. After you have done this, you can restore from an iCloud backup.
iCloud does not back up the actual software, so no, the "virus" would not have gotten into the backups.
The link below provides steps on restoring your device using iTunes as well as how to restore from an iCloud backup.

Don't worry! Everything should be back to normal if you follow these steps.
