First let me say in my short time here, I've enjoyed reading all the tips and tricks I've seen so far. I look forwarding to helping others with their problems as I see so many people here doing.
What is everyone's opinion on virus/malware apps for the iPhone? From what I've ready, it isn't necessary unless using a jail broken device which I'm not.
The reason I ask is that I have 2 identical iPhones. One is my personal phone and the other is company issued. On my personal, when I'm browsing Facebook, I'll tap a news article I want to read and as the article is loading the screen is taken over by some sort of advertisement for Walmart or amazon gift cards or sometimes a warning that my phone has 28 viruses and "Tap here" to have them cleaned. The frustrating part is there is no way to remove the advertisement and see the article. I have to go back and then try the article again which is annoying but also eats up more data and most times I'm hit with the same advertisement. Initially I just chalked it up to FB's advertising but I've noticed that I don't get the same popups when I view the same articles on my company issued phone. Typically when I get this on my personal phone, I put it down and grab my work phone and find the exact same article and I'm able to tap it and read it normally without the popups. This leads me to believe there is something on my personal phone causing the pops up.
I've tried deleting the FB app from my personal phone and reinstalling but it had no affect.
Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
