Probable iphone 6 virus?

I downloaded an app called Photo Collage Maker by Kai Xia yesterday and there are in-app advertisements which I accidentally clicked. It led me straight to Safari's browser and there's a pop-up saying that my device has been infected with a button prompting me to 'scan' the phone. Having no other way to exit the page or the pop-up, I clicked on it and it started downloading or uploading something. I closed the webpage as soon as I am able to. The site's address is download.com-01.mobi/?uid=735337560.
Can anyone tell me what happened and what I need to do to prevent a possible hack/virus attack?
Thanks!

Ignore it. You just got phishing scam via Safari. There are no viruses for iOS unless you jailbreak it.

Try this First... No Data will be Lost...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

Try another USB Cable.
Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11) Installed on your computer

Pop up is in safari from a third party website and won't let me do anything in safari unless I click on it. I don't want to click on it because it is probably a virus. I hae tried restarting safari and also the computer, but it's still there.

Thomas' answer is the preferred technique. Sometimes, these pop-ups will block you from quitting Safari. In that case, press option+command+esc, select Safari, and Force Quit. Then, use the shift key with Safari when relaunching it, per Thomas' suggestion.

How do i get rid of a iPhone Virus?

I have now for the second time a strange virus on my Iphone 5, iOs 6.1.4 It opens randomly the pre-installed apple apps like Newsstand, Settings, Notes etc. and changes settings there. The first time I had it, it sent a message with "awkward" to one of my contacts. This time it changed my wallpaper. I haven't jailbreaked my iPhone. How do I get rid of this ****? It seems to help to switch the Wifi off. A reset of the settings did work the first time but not now. Thanks for your help!

How do I diagnose and remove iPhone viruses?

I think my iPhone (iOS8) has a virus. There is a noticeable decrease in the battery life. Also, the Lifelock app popped up, giving a warning.
I tried downloading Avira (I use it on laptop), but it apparently isn't available.
I need something that will scan, diagnose and remove the virus(es). Any suggestions?

The only possible ways to get a virus are:
-Jailbreak
-Downloading an app that is not from the App Store.
Other than that, your iPhone is fine.

IPhone virus downloaded from Skype app - is it possible?

I have received a weird message on Skype app on my iPhone 4S. There were no links shown. The same message on my computer showed a file, which was ''no longer available''. Do I have anything to worry about? Is there any possibility that virus somehow got on any of my devices even though I did not download anything? My phone is not jailbroken. Thanks for help

You don't have to worry unless your phone is jailbroken.

My IPhone sent out a virus

On Monday, I visited several websites with my IPhone and also downloaded a new ap - a solitaire game by byterun. The following day while I was away from the IPhone and my home computer was off, the IPhone sent out a virus to my entire address book (aol). I've not heard of IPhone viruses, but something happened. I've disabled my email from my Iphone. What should I do to make sure this doesn't happen again? Anyone else had any problems? I can't seem to find anything in tech support that addresses this. Thanks.

Out of curiosity, is your home computer a Mac or a Windows PC?
(Oh, I, too, seriously doubt that your iPhone is a culprit in this. iPhones have been reported sending "phantom" calls on their own, but I don't recall reading of any of them sending "phantom" emails. In addition, no one, and I mean no one, has EVER reported anything like what you describe. No hacker has ever described being able to do something like this-and I frequent a lot of sites where that WOULD be discussed. So either you are the unluckiest iPhone user in the world, or you are incorrect as to what, exactly, happened. If you have a Windows box, I would suggest that something in it is the culprit.)
(Second oh: "So, unless you have something constructive to suggest, just move on." is really just not, um, nice. People here, for the most part, are trying to help each other. If you don't like the fact that everyone who has responded has suggested an alternative scenario, it might just be that they are trying to BE constructive, and you aren't hearing it. Try some other sites and see what THEY say. You might find unanimity of opinion, which would leave you where you are now.)

How do I remove virus from iPhone

I don't know how I got virus on my pone

There are no iPhone viruses that could infect non-jailbroken phones.
What makes you think that you have a virus?

Can iPhone Give Viruses to Your Windows PC Computer?

if iPhone has a virus, can it give virus to your computer? Also, is there such thing as an iPhone virus? could you get it from using safari when you surf on the web?

In theory its possible. If i were a clever ******* i chould use something like the PDF exploit to add a file to the part of the iphone that comes up as a disk when pliuged into windows and in conjustion use an expolit in windows that can be used to install a virus from a usb mas storage to do something evil.
1 I don't think this had ever be done in wild.
2. Its a really over convloted way to do it and most likely not work any one whos smart enoght to pull it offs time for ammount of impact it chould create.

When I log in on my computer none of my icons show up on my desktop and then a virus protection logo comes on. What can I do to resolve this issue without going to the repair store?

When I log ion to my computer and the desktop shows up all of my icons that were on my desktop are no longer there. Then a virus message pops up and asks me if I would like to buy some antivirus software and then a error report shows up and it ask me if I would like to send the error report out and then it gives me the option if I do not want to send it out.

That pop-up asking you to buy an anti-virus product (and some telling you that you are infected) is probably a virus.

How do I remove a virus from my iMac?

My computer has a virus. I don't know what to do about it. MacKeeper was downloaded when I tried to update a Flash player. Now I'm having lots of problems and pop-ups. I trashed it and securely emptied the trash but I'm now getting messages that I have probably 2 viruses. I don't trust where this information is coming from and wonder how I can get rid of the viruses. I don't want to give anyone access to my computer to fix it online when I don't know who they are. Can I take it to an Apple Store or an Apple authorized dealer? Please help!

For Alan and Kurt,
Thank you so much for your help. What a relief. I used the link http://www.adwaremedic.com/index.php and it cleaned everything out in less than a minute. It had commandeered my Home Page, but I got that back now and so far no pop ups.

Request for switch off protection in coming new iphone.

Dear apple
Subject- Request for switch off protection in coming new iphone.
I am a very new customer of yours, have bought a iPhone 5s on 25th Dec '13, but unfortunately someone stolen my phone in a MELA in my city. I immediately call my iphone but getting it switch off, as the thief had put the phone in switch off mode. I search it in iCloud with find my iphone apps but getting offline till date. I use pass code & finger print protection that's why probably it can't be use by the thief, but it can be sell as spare parts by opening up its parts . I had do all legal formalities & inform my carrier to lock my sim. Recently I again bought a new iPhone 4s 8GB from amazon.com & using it now.
It is the time to welcoming new iphone probably iphone 6/iphone air in this fall. I have plan to buy it & a apple laptop but first iphone 6 followed by iwatch if you launch & than laptop.
Now coming to the main point why I have written this mail let's explain it - I think you should put a switch off protection in this new device so that someone can't put the phone in switch off mode except the owner, at-least phone can be track till the battery last if someone stollen it. Because I know the problem & pain when someone lose a smart phone with all personal details. So please consider this in your new device as a new feature.
I have given the details of my both phone -
1.iphone 5s Gold
IMEI no
SL no F2******RC6
Parts no MF354HN/A
2. iPhone 4s 8GB black
IMEI no
SL no C8*****ML6
Parts noMF265HN/A
Thanking you

This is a user-to-user forum. If you wish to offer Apple feedback, you can do so here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
As for your suggestion, as much as I can understand what you are requesting, if the device is turned off, it is off. There isn't anything Apple or your carrier can do about that. Having a device that is OFF continue to send a signal suggest all sorts of privacy and battery management issues.

IPhone 4 to iPhone 4S FaceTime freezes iOS 5.0.1

searching to no service to service to searching to no service to service...
todays date (in case you missed it) ... 12-22-2011
I did NOTHING to change my iPhone4. I was literally at work from 12:00 noon to 9:00pm.
All of a sudden, at 5:00pm, my iPhone4 decides it needs to constantly goto "searching" then to "no service" then back to "searching" then to "AT&T [5 Bars] 3G", then back to "searching" to "No Service" to ... you get the idea...
It continued with no end in sight.
Once home, after 4 hours of having a useless iPhone4 for 4 useless hours, I (to my wife's dismay) went to my home office to research if anyone else had a problem with this. Mind you, I had latest Apple iOS 5.0.1...
FFWD 3 hours later.
I found the post before my current post. (by Shaun00013) It lead me to hope (not believe) that if I used iTunes to do a backup of my iPhone4, then "Restore to factory defaults", then Restore iPhone from backup that my problem would be solved...
... (yes, I know i use too many "..." so don't mention it!)
Now that I've done the backup / restore factory defaults / restore from backup: problem solved.
... [ :-) ] It's been 30 minutes with no repeat of my original issue! YAAY!
This whole experience reminds me of a corrupted windows installation. I didn't realize Apple iOS had the same issue...
I don't know if someone sent me an email with an iPhone virus ( is that even possible?!) Or if my iOS just shat itself... but I know this post lead me to fixing my issue.
Hope this post of mine helps you too. If it does, sign in with your AppleID and tell us about it. Then, the next poor helpless iPhone owner experiencing this issue will find this post faster through Google.
Gnite! Hopefully I won't be back to this site anytime soon...
... :-D

Importing pictures from iphone to pc

When importing pictures from an iphone to pc without using the itunes, there are many unknown folders that appear inside every iphone folders. Folders that can't be deleted. Is this a virus? How to get rid of this?

No, this is not a virus. There are no iPhone viruses. These hidden folders are used by the operating system: leave them alone.

Info on programming for cross-platform iPhone, MacOSX, DashCode?

Is there documentation which shows a nice to-do list for converting apps designed for the iPhone, the Mac (OSX) and Mac (Dashboard/DashCode) into one or more of the other two?
I started with the iPhone, which is probably the most restrictive. I'm hoping this was a good decision, since splitting out into multiple windows or a larger window with panes should be easier than manipulating a small screen. I would like to "port" my app(s) to the other two platforms, if at all possible without rewriting it. (Although that is a possibility, in order to make the code more portable to all three platforms).
My question, before I start a thorough search, is where to start in the documentation to begin the undertaking, probably iPhone to MacOSX first, then back to DashCode.
I would also like to at least review any documentation geared for this before I dive into my next project, so I can think ahead while designing and writing the actual code.
Thanks!

Hi,
I think you have to choose whether your applications will be distributed through the App Store (Developer Program) or in-house (Developer Enterprise Program). If they are distributed through the App Store, Apple will take 30%. You can create your own "App Store" for in-house over-the-air deployment.
http://developer.apple.com/support/ios/enterprise.html
In my opinion, this is one of the reasons why iOS is not the right platform for enterprise apps.
Regards,
Pierre
