So, I was checking the weather on my phone, and there was a link to something at the top, and I clicked on it, and something popped up which said: 'Warning, a virus has been found on your phone'. It asked me to push a button to allow a scan.
It seemed really weird to me, so I just got rid of the pop-up, without asking for any scan.
Did I make the right decision?
Also, if anyone asks, it wasn't clear what app/program or whatever exactly was supposed to do the scan, nor what company it was from, etc, etc. That was the part that seemed weird. I just didn't know if the pop up was from my own phone, or from the website itself.
Thoughts? Advice? Should I use something that I know is legitimate to search for viruses? If so, what?
My phone is an iphone 4, by the way.
Anyone here probably knows more about this than I do.
