SMS Flash appeared to iPhone 5

Hi, My wife had an (I quess it is) Flash SMS in her iPhone 5 this morning. Unfortunately I did not take a photo of it but it was something like "Gongratulations - you have won xxxxxxx$" Text was longer and it had an address and an e-mail with it.
The thing that worries me - is that there were only one button below the message "OK".
Pressing the home button - did not this message disappear nor did the closing and opening the display again. I pressed the OK and the message disappeared.
Is there a possibility that the phone was hijacked?
Phone is running with ios7 with 7.0.2 upgrade.

Thank you for you quick respond. As I said - there was only one button to be pressed - which I did. That was the OK button. I do not know if that was a link of some kind. Anyway the message disappeared.
I'm an ICT reseller myself and do know something about what can be done and what not.
I could have tried to boot the phone but I did not this time. That regret's me.
I did change the Appstore password as we have the same account just in case.
Would be interested to see/hear if someone else has received similar message.
I tried to google this but did not find any similar - not from the conversations or pictures.

When i receive an sms it appears on screen in front of everybody indiscreti

when i receive an sms it appears on screen in front of everybody indiscretion ...
how can i hide an sms coming in ? you get it ?

I'm far removed from the playboy I once was, but if I had an iPhone back then, I would have needed to get creative. Even if the name wasn't shown, a nosy GF who I gave access to my iPhone could rifle through my texts. I have a friend who enters a different name for a contact's phone number who they don't want someone else to know or be aware of.

Thank you, razmee209! I must have checked everything 1,000,000 times, but when I just rechecked settings - notification - mail, I now see that Alerts -- both Show in Notification Center and Show on Lock Screen -- were turned off. Can't believe I missed that, so THANK YOU!

Can get the AirPlay to work off my computer, but not my iPhone or iPad. I have the latest software. Airplay logo never appears on iPhone or iPad.

HT201269 Is there a way to download/port the missing data/SMS to one iPhone without overwriting the new SMS on the newer iPhone?

SMS Transferring/downloading/backup : Is there a way to download/port the missing data/SMS to one iPhone without overwriting the new SMS on the newer iPhone? Here is my dilemma. My iPhone quit working and I couldn’t get it fixed as quickly as I needed to. I bought a used iPhone and started using it normally and downloaded the backup from itunes/icloud. There was a large gap in data where the first iPhone didn’t backup when I thought it had. I have SMS data on both phonesnow and I need them for a court hearing. I have since had the other iPhone repaired and working perfectly. Will downloading a backup wipe out the newer SMS data? I am nervous because I can’t lose the information or my case mey be compromised. Any “Real Help” including programs that work to accomplish this would be very helpful. Thank You in advance…

No, direct access to manipulating the phone's filesystem is not permitted for 3rd party apps in the iOS. It can't be done without hacking the phone, which you certainly don't want to do. The messages can be combined and viewed on your computer, but not on a single phone.

From the box the iphone came in:
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.5 or later (free download fromwww.itunes.com/download)"
You will need Mac OS 10.5.8 or later in order to get itunes 10.5 or later, in order to connect your iphone.

How do i print sms messages from my iphone without a 3rd party app?

How do I print a complete SMS message from my iphone without using a 3rd party app?

If you have an AirPrint compatible printer, or you have a print app, then you could take a screenshot of each page of the message and then print them. Otherwise, there is no native solution to print SMS messages on the iPhone.

What problem?
There is no flash player for iphone. it does not exist. This is not a problem. It is simply not a feature.
The iphone also does not have a can opener. This also is not a problem, just not a feature.

Flash appears to install on Win 7, IE 8but will not display

32 bit Windows 7
IE 8, 32 bit
FP 10.2.152.32
FP S/W installation windows indicate that FP installed (Download Manager also says so)
FP & Download Manager are both shown in Programs.
History: Few weeks ago system was severely corrupted even though had McAfee Viruscan and Webroot Spysweeper. It was indicated every time an attempt to look at a video was made wherepon the computer would shutdown a few seconds afterwards. Working w/ Dell Support they determined the system was too far corrupted to save (7000+ files corrupted!!). They suggested that it would be preferable to install W 7 to replace then current XP operating system. Had disk formatted and XP operating system re-installed but only sufficient to allow operation of email. When Windows 7 arrived fully installed along w/ new Word/Excel 2010 S/W. Retrieved backuped files successfully. Everything is operating OK except for FP. Every attempt to load (after repeated uninstalls) shows it to be "successful" but still won't allow videos to play.
Based on perusal of thread, opened register to check on "kill-bit", found no indication it was set.
What should I do next?

Hi, what a terrible experience to have to go thru! I hope you don't still have either one of those "Anti-Virus" programs on your system. If not, what Anti-Virus/Spyware program(s) do you have?
Yes it was terrible, but Dell (Solution Station, paid support) made this sickening experience bearable. Right now I have McAfee Total Protection 2011 for what it's worth (ya gotta have something) and I use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (free version) twice a day to scan. The only thing it finds repeatedly is something in the registry defined as : HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\regfile\shell\open\command\...
So I can understand this, you now have Win7 on the computer? The backup files are from the XP that had the 7000 corrupted files?? When you reformatted XP, weren't those files lost? I guess what I need to know is how did those files get Installed onto the Win7 OS?
Here's the sequence of events: I back up periodically with a WD My Book Essentials external drive, assuring that the system is as clean as I can get it and otherwise operating normally. I don't do it continuously for fear that I could be backing up corrupted files right up to the point the disk crashes The back up that was used was about six weeks old. The 7000+ corrupted files were cleaned before reformatting but would have been lost regardless when the disk was reformatted. After it was reformatted and before installation of W7, the Dell reinstallation disk for XP was used. No backup files were loaded on this temporary XP system. When the W7 system was installed these backup files from the external drive were cleaned with Malwarebyes which found about 20 corrupted files. Since then only two have regularly appeared , they are in the registry defined as: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\regfile\shell\open\command\def...
Also why wasn't the malware cleaned before reformatting?
As indicated above, it was cleaned but never used again since it was all lost with the reformatting. The reinstalled software came from a six week old backup which has worked well and shows none of the malware, except for the few Malwarebytes intially found.
One other thing, I revisited the "kill-bit" procedure. While I didn't find what you indicated, I did find these two entries with HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ :
      Name                        Type                    Data
"icon w/ab in it"             REG SZ            (value not set)
"icon w/ab in it"             REG SZ            application/x-shockwave-flash
Also, I was looking at your procedure in post #26, in response to jfirko where a vs 9 of FP is installed/uninstalled followed by the current version of FP. For my situation is this a worthwile approach?
By the way, thanks for your interest in solving these problems. So many programs now use the flash player but there are so few sources to turn to when problems occur.
