Yesterday I received a spate of emails saying an email containing a virus had been intercepted and inviting me to view the text of the email on an attachment which I didn?t open as they were clearly malicious. Are you sure your friend hasn?t received a similar spam email? I understood that Apple?s security was excellent.

Is it jailbroken (somehow I doubt it)


Are you using some custom email server that could be causing this if it's email based (I use yahoo for instance - the same smtp/pop3 type settngs I use on my PC.)


Is it linked to Alexa - just in case worth checking what commands she is running :)

Are you saying that the only evidence you have is a friend or friends' report(s) that an email appearing to have come from you has, according to BT, an attached virus?


If that's the case it's imo virtually no evidence at all of any problem with your own phone. Spoofing of email "From" addresses is trivially easy, and a method of choice for those wanting to transmit any kind of malware. Viewing all the headers of the email(s) concerned should be able to reveal whether that was the case.

In General Iphones do not get Viruses..


That does not mean they cant be infected.


IOS is generally Stable and Safe and any infected APP will not infect other APPS


There is an exception to this rule. Any Device that has been Jail-Broken and loaded with

Non Apple approved software could more easily become infected and affect the performance of that device.

Any Updates from Apple will probably not work.

You should regularly install updates as they become available.


That will ensure you have the latest security updates.


Press


At that point you will see if Automatic Updates are On or Off.


I choose to keep them Off


I have just checked My Updates and I have one that I need to Download and Install.


This can take some time 10 - 20 Mins.

ETA There will be a progress bar next to a rotating gear wheel. It can be difficult to see,

DO NOT TURN Off your phone until any Update is finished.

    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps

    • Ahh shame about the cost of replacing the battery - especially (and I am assuming here) as the car probably isn't worth that much.  I do, however, think your decision is better than scrapping the car.  I will still update the results of our "experiment" in case this is of interest to others.  I absolutely refuse to scrap an otherwise perfectly good vehicle (especially as ours is ULEZ compliant - despite its age).  Nor am I enamoured with the idea of driving more just to keep the battery going.  If this little £35 gadget does the business then I shall be very happy.  We shall see......... Enjoy all those extra journeys, though if our gadget works then you might benefit from purchasing one and trickle-charging from time to time to save you having to make them.
