IOS said I have a virus on my iPad mini how do I get rid of it

iiOS said I have a virus how do I get rid of this virus ? And what app do I need ?

I hate to disagree with all of you who are saying there is no such thing as that. I have trying for the past 2 hours to fix my mom's ipad. Everytime she goes on Safari and opens clicks on a link. it launches another window for "
adexchange.com"
and few more windows open, and eventually it launches the App Store to purchase something.
It is real. and I have cleared the cache and blocked the pop-ups. I would have attached the screenshots but there is not way to do that.

  • How do you no if you have a virus or been hacked and how do you get rid of it

    A couple of time now I have found my found on randon web pages or message is it possible i have been hacked or got a virus

    Finding a strange site open in Safari isn't a conclusive sign that someone has hacked your iCloud account. You could simply be seeing redirects or "pop-ups" from some page you had loaded. This could easily cause tabs that you didn't realize were there to be noticed later.
    Similarly, finding that you have received strange messages in the Messages app isn't suspicious. That just means someone is text-spamming you. You can block the individual doing this if you're running iOS 7.
    However, if you are finding that your phone appears to be sending messages that you haven't sent, and has opened pages when all tabs in Safari were closed, then the iCloud account has been hacked.
    If your iCloud account is also your Apple ID, and you think you have been hacked, you will need to immediately log in to appleid.apple.com and change your Apple ID password. While you are there, you should also enable two-factor authentication on your Apple ID, to prevent hackers from taking control of it, and potentially locking you out of your iOS devices permanently.

  • Why do I have dehighlighted icons on my Ipad and how do I get rid of them?

    I now have dehighlighted icons (ones that had been there before but were normal/not dehighlighted).They just seemed to have this change when I powered up my Ipad today. Please help me. Thanks.

    Thank you Connecticut (Lizdance40) for responding so very, very fast. Wish I was in the position to help others like that, maybe some day. At least I know now what it might be. Have tapped one of the icons and it is now "waiting". Will wait and see if it changes to a different/normal look and if it does (after updating or restoring) I will do the same to the rest of them. Thanks again!! for the help.

  • My I Phone got an update and I have now lost my you tube, You tell me that I can down load you tube, can I get the same version, so I don't have to learn something new? Also, how do I get rid of Passbook?

    My I phone got an update and I have lost my you tube, You tell me that I can download you tube, can I get the same version, so I don't have to learn something new? Also, how do I get rid of Passbook?

    YouTube is no longer native in iOS.  There are loads of posts on this, so the search bar can be your friend.  There is a YouTube app in the App Store.  Download it and you'll have YouTube.
    You can NOT get rid of Passbook.  It is a new Apple Native App and is built into the iOS.  If you don't like it, you can put in a folder or on another page, but you can't delete anything Native.

  • I have continuous problems with my iPad Mini, and it is getting worse!  Newstand application keep pausing or crashing, websites keep hanging first time in but then open fine the second time, and I have problems with applictions crashing.

    I have continuous problems with my iPad Mini, and it is getting worse!  Newstand application keep pausing or crashing, websites keep hanging first time in but then open fine the second time, and I have problems with applictions crashing.  Has anyone experienced similar problems and any suggestions?

    Has the device always behaved this way? Did this start as a result of an update to the iOS software? If the problem is that bad, you should probably restore the iOS software and then restore from a backup. If that fails, restore as new and rebuild the device. If that fails, it's time for a trip to an Apple Store to let them have a look at the iPad.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

    when opening safari i get a message that says major security issue please contact apple immediately suspicious activity might have been detected. what is this and how do i get rid of it so i can use my internet?

    A misleading and malicious popup. Launch Safari with the Shift key held down; if that doesn't work, temporarily disconnect the computer from the Internet.

  • After upgrading I now have four operating systems on my Imac. how do I get rid of some

    after upgrading I now have four operating systems on my Imac. how do I get rid of some

    Very sorry it took so long to get back, I have tiger,leopard,snow leopard and lion still on the machine although i can't seem to find exactly where. I am sure that I don't need them all and they are just taking up disc space as it where. I thought that it would be good to clear some out but it is never a good idea to delete OS's when you are not sure what you are doing.  thanks

  • I seem to have deleted iTunes and the App Store from my iPad mini, how do I get them back?

    I've deleted the App Store and iTunes from my iPad mini, how do I get them back?

    If you can't find them on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find them via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then are they hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps and iTunes being set 'off' ?
    If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find them after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I keep getting a js/phish virus detdection on my compute how can I get rid of it?

    My new windows8 computer came with norton 360 but I did not think it would get rid of virus' for me so I got AVG and now about once a day AVG tells me that I have a Js/phish virus and it says its from norton how do I get rid of norton to stop getting this virus?

    It is probably not a good idea to have two sets of anti Virus program. (I am assuming Norton includes AV).
    You probably need to check with Norton about removal of software. Security software is not always straight-forward to remove, otherwise it could be ineffective.
    This may be applicable

  • I updated to 3.6.8 and now have web page previews in my tabs - how do i get rid of these

    When I upgraded to 3.6.8 all my tabs now are twice the size and have a thumbnail preview of the webpage in them - how do i get rid of these and go back to the normal tabs
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == i upgarded to 3.6.8

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

    Have 2 copies of iCloud on 4S, so how do I get rid of non-functioning,but interfering copy?
    The non-functioning copy will not accept any editing or updating and when I send emails I get a message that Icloud wants a password, I provide a password that is verified but go around the circle with iCloud asking for a password again when I try to send email.  Downloading emails AOK.

    Replying to own question.

  • I have a PC , iPad, iPhone 4S . Some how I have duplicate contacts on my I phone, how do I get ride of the duplicates

    How did I get duplicate contacts on my iPhone ? How do I get ride of my duplicates.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    I can't fully tell from the information you have provided, but I suspect your duplicates resulted from having one set of contacts in your "iCloud "account and another set of contacts in your "on my Mac" account.
    I further suspect that you have then deleted the contacts from your "Icloud "account, and thereby removed them from all devices. You now need to copy the contacts from your "on my Mac" account back to your "iCloud" account and delete the originals from your "on my Mac" account. You can do this by selecting groups, selecting your "on my Mac" group, and then selecting all the contacts within it and dragging them onto your "iCloud " account.
    You might also take a look at this User Tip, to ensure you understand the differences between the different accounts in Address Book before adding the contacts back.
