Not a virus. Your iPhone is fine.


Somewhere along, a spammer’s calendar was subscribed to; some website offered “do you want to...” most likely...


Delete the calendar subscription.

If running iOS 13 or earlier versions, check: Settings - Passwords & Accounts - Accounts - Any rogue entries here? If so, delete the rogue account. 


If running iOS 14, check: Settings - Calendar - Accounts - Any rogue entries here? If so, delete the rogue account.

I tried what the link said to do an now the calendar changes what it says every time I look at it!!

-Adult content

- iPhone may have a virus

-Attention risk of unsecured network


Ive also bought Avast security app an that has done nothing at all

it has not even detected a virus was pretty much waste of money

There is no virus here. None. You have added a subscribed calendar. Nothing more.


Find the spammer’s calendar(s) in Settings > Calendars > Accounts, and remove it.


Remove Avast. Add-on anti-malware cannot scan iPhone storage. And there’s no virus to find here, if it could scan.
