While using the internet, my phone got infected by a virus?

Hello!
I am concerned about my phone. I tried to contact apple support but for some reason it did not work, so I decided to search for help here. Today when I was using the internet, when I entered one site I got the notification "Your iphone has been infected with a virus, click ok to fix it'. I did click okay but I got so scared that I closed everything before it supposedly started to 'fix'. I removed cache and cookies and history of Safari. I also set all the settings to default and removed everything except content such as multimedia. My phone is highly unlikely to be jailbroken since it was bought at the authorised apple store and I never even considered 'toying' with such a personal device as my mobile phone. My question is - should I be worried? Should I fully format my iphone? And if that is the case - will it be enough? It was probably some kind of malware but I would prefer to be sure that nothing can possibly happen and apple can protect me from such incidents.
I will be grateful for the answers,
Kind regards,
Wiki

Currently there are no known viruses that can affect an iPhone. What you saw is just an ad purporting to know what is going on in your iPhone and offering to fix it. The most it could have done, was diret you to the App Store to download an app, or try to get oyu to download one form a site that would not be ablwe to run on your iPhone.
As it stands there is nothing you should e worried about.
Deleting Cookies and website data was the correct thing to do.

I have always heard that Macs are less likely to get infected with a virus. My computer has been running much slower since I installed Maverick. Just not sure what the problem might be. Is there a way for me to run a diagnosis?

Some have found relief just by reinstalling, but it is more than likely incompatible third-party applications that slow it down.
You will have to investigate to see what it is.
Open Activity Monitor and see if anything is using a lot of CPU% or Memory. If they are, check to see if there is an update for them.
Another place to look is the Console. See if anything is logging repeating messages with throttling and/or respawn in the All Messages list.
Sometimes it is not that easy to root out the problems, but if you have anything that purported to clean, protect, optimize, maintain, or flush your system, then that is likely the cause.

Is this a genuine error message 'ipad has been infected with potential virus'

II was just about to watch a film through my iPad and a new screen opened 'phone updating.com' and the message read 'Virus warning, ipad has been infected with potential virus. Click the ok button to scan your iPhone now.'
I didn't press ok and it wouldn't let me cross out so I checked and updated to the latest version (8.2) and when my ipad restarted, safari opened it on the same error page. I then went to settings and cleared my Safari history which thankfully clearly the page.
My concern now is what if I have something bad (virus?) on my iPad? Or im hoping that because I didn't click okay that all is okay again.
can anyone advise if they have come across anything similar or if I need to do something else?
MAny Thanks

Thanks, that's what I thought. Do you know if there was any other way that I could have cleared the message other than by clearing my safari history, and more importantly, as I didn't click okay, would this have stopped anything else happening to my ipad?

Firefox was infected with a virus or spywar and now tries to pop up a certain site every time I load a new page or refresh.

A few days ago my computer was infected with a virus from my antivirus license running out without me knowing it. Ever since then every time I load a page in firefox or refresh it a pop up window to a site that my ESET antivirus blocks comes up. This will not stop and I can't figure out how to fix it. I've deleted all temporary files on my comp and tried reinstalling firefox from scratch and still won't go away. I'm running out of things to try and not sure what to do. Any help would be greatly apreciated.

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs. 
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

Do you have any exp. guys that your ipad3 infected with malware virus?

Do you have any exp. guys that your ipad3 infected with malware virus?

There is no malware for the iPad, unless you have jailbroken it. If you have not jailbroken it, whatever problem you are having that prompts you to ask about viruses is not caused by malware, guaranteed.

I think I've been infected with a virus and my other anti-virus program isn't catching it; how do I turn on Firefox's virus protection?

For the past few months, I've had this very weird problem. Any time I'm online, what looks like a big cursor (as if I'm in a writing program or typing in a text field) will appear in random places on any webpage. The cursor flashes, can be different sizes, and comes and goes randomly. Sometimes it's almost three-quarters the height of the webpage; sometimes it's small. I mentioned it to a computer-savvy friend who suggested that the computer might be infected with a virus. I have Avira, but apparently it's not catching this virus, if that's what it is. How do I know whether Firefox's anti-virus program is enabled, and do you think it can solve my "cursor" issue?? Help!

I have an IMac and opened an email that may have been infected with a virus. How do I check my IMac for a possible virus? What does PPC mean?

You would be better posting this in the Lion forum.
https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion?view=discussi ons
It's possible you email contained a virus, but unlikely. There haven't been any reports of email viruses effecting the mac.
My understanding is the Apple provides security updates for all malware including viruses.
There have been reports of a --
-- Phoney virus checking program
-- flash malware.
ppc -- Power PC. An older computer processor used by Apple. Last Mac shipped with PPC was in 2006.
I've read about two virus checking programs for the mac. One is clamav. The rest are either junk or malware.

Is it possible for a CD to be infected with a virus and can it infect my computer.

My cousin burned me a Cd of her music and she told me it took her a minute to burn it because her computer was infected with a virus and she believes that was the reason why. My question is if I import this Cd in my ITunes will it give my Macbook system a virus? Or am I just worrying for nothing?

can a CD pack a virus, certainly, seen it a million times. Will it infect you Mac? NO. I assume she has a PC and not a Mac. Before you drag over the MP3 music ,
download the free program CLAMXaV
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/clamxav/id430207028?mt=12
That way you can scan the CD if anything is on the CD besides music, and also help her determine what is/isnt on her computer.
What is scareware?
Another type of hoax is referred to as scareware. It's a bogus virus warning that pops up when visiting some websites, and looks something like this. If you take a close look, you'll see the popup refers to a Windows system, which obviously doesn't relate to Mac OS X. It can't harm your Mac at all. Just close the site, clear your browser's cache and cookies, and you'll be fine. Sometimes these scareware sites will generate a never-ending loop of popups, to the point that you must Force Quit your browser. Such scareware sites are usually intended to lure a Windows user into clicking the links to install bogus "antivirus" software, which is typically a trojan. Even if you click the links on a Mac system, it can't install anything, because Windows executable files can't run on Mac OS X.
There are NO viruses in the wild that affect Mac OS X at this time.
If this changes, this post will be updated. According to noted computer virus expert Paul Ducklin, in order for a virus to be considered in the wild, "it must be spreading as a result of normal day-to-day operations on and between the computers of unsuspecting users." This definition excludes "proof of concept" code that is used in a testing situation under strictly controlled conditions, and which poses zero threat to average computer users.
In the past, there have been a few viruses that ran on older versions of the Mac operating system (Mac OS 9 and earlier), but they do not run on any version of Mac OS X. Like every other OS, Mac OS X is not immune to malware threats, this situation could change at any time, but if a new virus is discovered, the news media, forums, blogs, etc. will be instantly buzzing with the news.
There are trojans that can affect Mac OS X
These must be downloaded and installed by the user, which usually involves entering the user's administrator password. Also, Mac OS X will give you a warning when you first launch an app you downloaded from the web. Trojans can easily be avoided by the user exercising common sense and caution when installing applications. A common source of trojans is pirated software, typically downloaded from bit torrent sites.

How to verify that the system isn't infected with a virus

Does anyone know how to check to see if your system has been infected with any type of malware? I read in an article at zdnet.com that there was a Mac OS X trojan spotted, but the article did not say how to locate whether or not you had been infected. I do not have a virus checker on my computer. Someone gave me a suggestion to go to the terminal and type in the following:
ls /Users/Shared/.*.so
Any comments?

This was published on MacWorld's site, and it's not a very good tip. Try this instead
ls -la /Users/Shared/*.so
Turns out I was wrong about that. Somebody else suggested something even more complicated and got this reply:

Your terminal statement has an extra "." in it that prevents it from working.
Also, you should add the options -alR to show what is happening, and to search subdirectories.
The revised command looks like this:
ls -alR /Users/Shared/*.so
The above is completely wrong. The command as shown in the article is appropriate.
The "." is not extra and doesn't prevent the command from working. It's specifying that you're listing files that start with a period and end with ".so" with anything in between being matched.
Because you're explicitly searching for things that start with "." you don't need the -a flag.
Because you only care about simple existence and not any metadata you don't need -l.
Because the files of interest are installed in /Users/Shared directly, and not subfolders thereof, you don't need -R.

How do I know if my Mac has been infected with the virus

I recently was asked to download an Adobe Acrobat reader update but before I was made aware that the current virus was contained in a similar request, I downloaded what I assumed to be a legit update. I currently do not use my mail program on my Mac so am unaware of any spam being distributed from the computer. How can I identify if my computer has been infected with this Trojan Horse virus?

Two Helpful Links Regarding Flashback Trojan
A link to a great User Tip about the trojan: Flashback Trojan User Tip
A related link in the tip to a checker: Malware Checker Dowload Link
A Google search can reveal a variety of alternatives on how the remove the trojan should your computer get infected. This can get you started.
For now I recommend the User Tip from etressoft to detect and remove:
Checking for and removing the "Flashback" trojan

Can iPhone be infected with a virus while accessing websites through a third party app?

Hi there all, while accessing a newly found video website via a third party app on my iPhone 5, a window suddenly appears saying "your iPhone has been infected by a virus" and then gave a link to click "to prevent further damage from happening." I chose to ignore the message since it's always been my understanding that iPhones are relatively impervious to viruses, however, since the pop up was now preventing me from doing anything else with the app, I just closed out the application entirely then rebooted the phone (just to be safe) and it's been working fine ever since. I suspect this pop up was a fear based ploy intended to scare me into clicking the link being provided. Am I correct, or is it actually possible for a virus to infect an iPhone just by going to an unscrupulous website without even downloading a file? I haven't opened or done anything with this third party app ever since. btw, my iPhone 5 is running iOS v8.1.2 and I've never had any issues with it in the past. If anybody can answer it would surely be appreciated, many thanks!

Several years ago, my oldest brother was stupid enough to let himself be duped into being a major participant in a personal situation having a direct impact upon me. Prior to the rift that developed which ultimately tore our relationship apart, I suggested we meet for lunch one day as all I was wanting was for him to be honest with me. Feeling guilty and hating all confrontation, he just had to get out of there, and so instead of answering my question he jumped up and shouted "YOU'RE ALWAYS DOING THAT TO ME!!" right in front of everyone at the restaurant. As a tension breaker I shouted right back, "didn't YOU ever learn the word ALWAYS should NEVER be said during an argument?" And so yes, you're right, I should have qualified my question more by saying "relatively impervious" instead. MY BAD!! I still want to say "THANKS" anyway for providing such a quick and accurate answer!

My friend got infected with the Skype virus going ...

What do I do? *link removed*

     It is normal to see a recovered file folder in the trash after a restart. It is a normal part of the startup procedures for a mac. As far as you logging out of you MSN account, which browser are you using? Check to see if you have a setting on your MSN account that keeps you logged in.
     Now this malware virus, how do you know that you are infected. I take it that you ran some software that told you so, if this is the case, could you mention the software and show the error line?
     You say that you cannot run the software OSx version 10.5, is this a install DVD. If it is DO NOT install it over 10.6.8!!!
     Please forward the malware info and we will try to get you up and working and secure your system.

My laptop downloading Firefox 4 automatically and then it got infected with viruses when I went to net so what should I do???

Laptop doesnt allow access to net now. I am running Windows 7 starter on a Dell netbook. I get popup message for Windows virus remover and request to enter credit card info. All attempts to access websites using Firefox fail as this pop up message is repeated.
I have never had a problem with Mozilla open source products until this time when my netbook automatically upgraded to Firefox version 4. I was in Europe at the time.

Hey allan. I dont know. Nothing seems to change. I still dont have net connection. Im at a net shop right now. (Not using mac.) What will happen to the OSX Lion that I payed for? The icon was gone. Im still in the middle of downloading it.

I got infected with XP Internet Secutiry 2012 and now every time I load FF it changes the access methodd to a manual proxy connection of 127.0.0.1

How do I stop the proxy information from being changed?

Parts of that infection may be left behind.
Have your tried going to Options > Options > Advanced > Network > Connection > Settings, tick "No proxy"? Then close Firefox, restart Firefox from your desktop icon, check the setting just made to be sure it "sticks".
