    just out of curiosity have you installed any pirated/warez apps? if so then I would imagine that is where that came from

    It's spyware popup from a web ad. It's designed to trick pc users into clicking on it then installs there software that says you have 100s of virus on your pc and you have to pay them to remove it. I don't think it can affect iPhone or mac at all.

    Never seen this on the iPhone! I hope it's not some we have to start worrying about on our phones now.

    Agreed. Very excessive. Very odd response too especially when the poster above him was essentially warning against owning... that... stuff...

    I've read the forum rules many times, I do not use nor do I condone the use of warez/pirated apps, I was asking because I thought maybe that was where they might have picked up the bug or whatever it is, ask blkcadi how many pm's she gets from me asking her to edit/close threads that are discussing warez or have links to them or custom ipsw's

    ^ I was not talking to you or bgattis, but to the OP who posted warez in a post I deleted (you can't see it anymore) because I deleted it. Understand?

    thought this ment to be a friendly site...
    no warez.. ur lucky I said that and got a warning without a verbal warning which was harsh.
    I think its good that the link was deleted as not good having warez.
    so everyone move on and forgot what was said and get back on topic.
