[Electronics-talk] Do you use an antivirus with your iPhone?

[George]

Thank you, Ray, for the information.

  > George, based on your description, I'd say you have a corrupt install of 
the latest IOS.

  Well, it worked perfectly ok after I installed the latest version, some 
days ago, but, suddenly, it became impossible to use Voiceover and siri 
anymore, yesterday.
  My wife can use it, apparently without any problem; it's just that 
VoiceOver doesn't talk and Siri plays tricks.  That's why I think it might 
have a virus.

  > To put your phone in to UDF mode, press and hold down both the power 
button and the home button for longer than ten seconds. Your phone will then 
go in to a condition where the only option is to hard reset or cancel.

  I did that and the phone restarted automatically.

  > There is another way to do this.  First, turn Find my phone off on your 
phone.  Then, completely shut it down.  Now, with one end of the cable 
plugged in to your computer, plug the other end in to your phone while 
pressing down the home button.


  Well, I think I have no other choice than doing so.
  I would like to avoid it if possible, but...
  Do you think there's no other way around this?

  Thanks,
  George
