Iphone 4S Safari virus

Safari on my iPhone 4S opens spam websites on its own when I try to visit specific sites that did not used to be a problem. I can visit the sites on any other device without problems. When I visit it on safari on my phone, it loads but then immediatly changes to a spam website. I've tried closing the browser window and exiting Safari. I even tried resetting my phone by holding the home and power buttons until the silver apple appears. I don't know what else to do now except totally erase my phone and then redownload everything. What can I do?

i did the "reset all content and settings" thing after backing up my phone to icloud but when i loaded the backup back onto my phone, the problem was still there.
i think i'm going to have to do the itunes restore and start my phone as a new phone, no icloud backup since it contains the "virus" or whatever is taking over my phone.
i don't see how the itunes restore would not help but i'll post an update afterwards anyway.

    You do not have a virus.  Sounds like you are just being bitten by Safari's desire to reopen all windows - and reconnect to all sites that were open in those windows - in Mac OS X 10.7.  I believe that if you hold down option (or is it shift?) while opening Safari that it will not try to reload those pages.

  • Cannot play podcast from .mac website on iPhone's Safari

    Published a podcast, using iWeb on our .mac website. Works great on my laptop, however, on the iPhone using Safari, it just shows a QuickTime icon. If you click on the icon it takes you to the quicktime site to download the latest version of quicktime. There isn't a "play" button visible to press instead.
    If I subscribe to the podcast, download it into iTunes and then sync my iPhone, it works great. Is it possible to listen to podcasts right through Safari on the iPhone?

    It's that way because that's the way Apple designed it.
    I just merely wish to listen to them using itunes and my pc headphones while it charges the unit.
    You can still connect headphones to the iPhone and listen while your PC changes the iPhone. Until Apple changes things, that's it.
    You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

  • IPhone 3G, Safari cannot open OWA (Outlook Web Access) to Exchange 2007

    Hello, picked up iPhone 3G in hopes of replacing my Windows Mobile 6 phone (AT&T 8525), and first i did was,
    a) Installed the my .pfx certificate, appears successful as the certificate showed up under Settings | General | Profile, as identity certificate (although shows up as "Unsigned", not sure why). Verified the details of the certificate and all looks correctly imported, especially the expiration date is correct.
    b) Setup Safari to NOT block popup, cleared cache, history and cookies
    c) Opened up Safari, and pointed to the following URL,
    http://my.company.com/OWA
    And i get the "The page cannot be displayed", with Error Code: 401 Unauthorized.
    This same .pfx certificate is used successfully in my Windows machine, and using the same OWA URL, using Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari for Windows.
    And my Windows Mobile 6 (AT&T 8525 phone) also using the same .pfx certificate has no problem opening up the login page to the OWA, using the same URL.
    Can someone help or verify whether accessing OWA through iPhone 3G Safari using the .pfx certificate is NOT supported at this time?
    Thanks much!

    When you created the PCKS#12 did you create with the full chain? My first suspicion is "unsigned" - this indicates that the phone can't validate what signed this certificate. You may have to import the signing root seperately as I don't know if the iPhone cert store handles chained certs or not.
    Secondly, Safari browser is echoing back the 401 message indicating that the server did not accept your credentials. Many SSL implementations require the client to send the full chain (to the root that signed everything) - it makes no sense when the server should have the root and be able to validate this, but I have run into this before.
    Since this has worked on your WinMO device I would try the following:
    From a desktop PC access your OMA/OWA server - hopefully you have the PFX installed on a desktop
    Click on the SSL lock icon and view the certificate hierarchy
    Export the root and any intermediate into .CER file
    Import the root and any intermediate CER files into the iPhone
    The first thing that you hopefully will see is that the Profile cert will no longer say unsigned. If it does not, try re-importing it (pfx) AFTER you install the root(s).
    I know that some of this seems un-necessary, but I have done a lot of PKI stuff over the years, but there seems to be very different implementations in key management.
    Hope this helps!

  • Is it true iPhone got a virus?

    Is it true iphone got a virus?

    There is no known malware of any kind for any iOS device, unless that device has been jailbroken.
    If your iPhone has been jailbroken, then there is malware that could infect it. Jailbreaking removes all security on your phone. If you have done this, you need to restore your iPhone to factory settings, and don't jailbreak it again in the future. If you do decide to jailbreak it, or leave it jailbroken, risking malware will simply be something you'll have to accept, with the knowledge that there is no anti-virus software for the iPhone.

  • Are iPhones prone to viruses in the same way other smart-phones are?

    I had got the dictionary.com app from the app store,and had noticed that it had ads. Now, although unlikely, it struck my interest to as if these links could have the potential to be malicious. In which instance I have posed the question, "Are iphones succeptable to viruses?". This has come from knowledge that other smart phones are prone to such problems. Please and thank you.

    There are no viruses effecting ios devices.  They operate in a closed system.

    I'm not sure I understand what that is. Can you clarify?
    It's likely that jaredfs' proposed solution will work, if you are infected with some kind of adware. However, it's hard to tell whether that's the case from your description.

  • Strange behaviour iPhone 4 Safari

    While testing my website's mobile version on several devices, I noticed a very strange behaviour.
    I have a scrollable content div with overflow: auto, and this works properly on all tested devices, except iPhone 4 on Safari. Other browsers and devices display it correctly, even iPhone 5 Safari.
    On iPhone 4 Safari, when you scroll to the end of the content, a lot of extra whitespace appears at the bottom (looks like 100-200% extra height) and the text disappears when scrolling. This doesn't happen on any other devices in Safari, nor does it happen in other browsers on iPhone 4.
    Has anyone ever heard of such a phenomenon before? I have absolutely no clue what causes this behaviour or how to fix it.
    Since I only have access to a limited amount of devices for testing, I may be overlooking other devices/browsers where this issue also occurs. If you have a mobile device and want to test it as well, the live site is here: Live site. On the mobile homepage, click one of the logo's to expand the content, then try scrolling down.
    How it looks on iPhone 5 Safari when scrolled down (no issue): Image

    Is this possibly a device / OS-specific bug?

  • Why my iPad or iPhone go safari watch online show can't load

    Why my iPad or iPhone go safari watch online show like anime etc it's say need flash player

    Flash is not supported on the iPad or iPhone - and as Adobe have announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
    Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites have their own apps in the App Store.

  • My Iphone lost Safari, please help me restore it

    My Iphone lost Safari, please help me restore it

    So a Spotlight search on your phone to search for Safari and click the App. Once you verify that it is still on there you'll just have to look for it.
    If the App isn't listed, try a restart/reboot of the iPhone holding the home button and sleep/wake switch. If the App still doesn't show itself in the OS or via Spotlight, restore the phone via iTunes.

  • Iphone pop-up virus?

    Hello,
    I own a Iphone5 16gb IOS 8.3. Today i received a link from a friend on 'whatsapp". That link was from a 9gag post.
    After i clicked on that link, it opened in safari and then a pop-up appeared on my screen saying that my iphone has been infected with a virus.
    That pop-up was the type of pop-up you receive from your system.(kind of the pop-up that informs you that your update in ready or that you can't access that internet and you need to turn on cellular data or wi-fi).
