Oi,
I bought an iphone4s, checked out some porn, got a virus of some sort (me in my computer illiterate, unaware naive world thought that didn't happen with ios) now I'm going to reset to factory settings and wipe the lot. Will there be any complications in doing this. Will it wipe any viruses and other nasty STDs from my phone? How can I make sure this doesn't happen again (besides not checking out porn sites) Is there any antivirus software for these things????

Stop clicking on things that you suspect will do harm on your iPhone when browsing the net. Find a computer anti virus that can also check attached USB devices on your computer. Though iOS and OS X are less prone to attacks, clicking on something that you have no idea of will mess up your phone.
