iPhone4 malware warning wont go away

[atticus679]

I accessed a website through the Twitterific app, then tried through safari on my iPhone4, and got a pop up window saying:

Warning! Your computer is at risk of malware attacks. We recommend you to check your system immediately. Press OK to start the process now...

The only option is OK! I can't close safari, close my window or anything! I tried turning it to airplane mode and going to safari to change the pop up window, but got the same message. Eventually, I restarted the phone and it went away. Has anyone run into this before?

I was unable to find any threads or advice when I googled it. Is it malware?

I never had this happen on my old iPhone!

Try a hard reset of the phone. Press and hold power button and home button at once. It's basically an unending popup window to screw users that open the same on a PC.

No Malware. Just don't hold it that way

Force quit Safari then clear cache and history (cookies probably wouldn't be a bad idea if you're really worried).

if you click the ok it will go away...jk. But really just go into settings for safari and clear the cache, history, and cookies.

I had a malware warning like that pop up yesterday while going to a site I've been to many times before without a problem. Only happened once, so I was

^^^This.

Had the same thing happen on my iPad last week. This was the only way I found around it. Clearing cache/cookies/history is done from Settings/Safari, not from the Safari app itself.
