![]() ![]() One of the very best and most respected within the Apple App Store - designed for iPad, iPhone and Mac - is 1Blocker for Safari.ġBlocker is highly configurable - and crucially does not rely upon an external proxy-service of dubious provenance. However, as with all computer systems, there are still vulnerabilities and exploits to which you remain at risk.īrowser-based attacks can largely be mitigated by installing a good, trusted, Content and Ad-blocking product. Most alerts that you see are pop-up messages from websites - these being designed to scare the unwary into giving away sensitive information - or to fool you into doing something that you shouldn’t.ĭue to the system architecture of iOS/iPadOS, unless jailbroken, your iPad is not susceptible to traditional malware infection per-se. This should resolve this specific problem in its entirety. When/if you find the suspect account, tap - then select Delete Account. Look for an “account” that shouldn’t be in the list of accounts - as this will likely include the Calendar that contains all the unwanted events. IOS/iPadOS14: Settings > Calendar > Accounts IOS/iPadOS13 and earlier: Settings > Passwords and Accounts If you see this issue, you’ll need to check for what’s out of place. Whilst not a malware infection in the traditional sense, if this exploit is observed on your device, it is highly probable that you were manipulated (via a simple click on a website link) into “subscribing” an additional (unwanted) Calendar to your device - and this unexpected Calendar is exposing unwanted calendar events and sending you unexpected “adverts” or other warnings. This involves your iPad/iPhone Calendar - the symptom being your Calendar appearing to have been populated with regular events that warn of malware infection. However, there is one potential source of immediate issues with your iPad that you may need to check - this being for a vulnerability that is often exploited that gives the appearance of a malware infection. Providing that you have not attempted to jailbreak your device - or have bypassed protections by side-loading third-Apps (if you don’t know what this is, then don’t worry about it), then it is highly unlikely that your device will actually have been infected with a virus or other malware.
