How do i make sure my iphone does not have any malware/trojan/keylogger or anything like that?  Asking this because im going to download one of those apps like blockfi so i could open an account and send crypto there.



Is there a way to make sure my iphone is free of any malware before I do this?  Obviously resetting the iphone would do it but I will obviously not do that.

The closest way to being sure of a link is basically being sure of the site or platform for which you are operating on. A safe site means a safe link but that's relatively as there are also cases of an insider job and platforms can be hacked every now and then, there is nothing new about that. So, the closest way to avoiding falling into the phishing trap through clinks and possibly installing a malware on your device is by avoiding clicking on links that your not sure of or isn't anticipated for. Be about your business and know that there are internet fraudsters all around.

To make sure your system is clean, do a clean installation.
First, your Windows system must be licensed. Do not download it from various other sources, torrents, etc.
After that, install a good antivirus for yourself, it is imperative that it also has a license. But the built-in antivirus Windows 10 also, as practice shows, copes well enough with protection. Keep your system up to date, do not disable anything related to security. Do not download anything from unreliable sources, use sandboxes or virtual machines for all sorts of dubious software. To work with finances, in general, limit your activities to visiting dubious resources.
The same goes for your Apple iPhone. Check your phone through your computer, and also do a full iPhone reset, and after that do not forget to make clean backups and update your device on time.

Angry I don't do links, I don't click links, that's a fact and why people do it is because mostly they crave for free stuffs, things they don't work for but hoped for, scam links and malware links always comes with good offers just for the greed to make a click, if I have to download a app on my android phone I let the official website guide me to the real app on playstore

Surely you scan your device with some good antivirus software If the hacker has infected your device with an old malware, then these antivirus software detect and will also remove from your device...

  • Kaspersky
  • Malwarebytes
  • Norton 360 Deluxe

But if your device is infected with latest version of malware, then all these anti virus softwares are useless.

if you dont click on links why you are here . the internet is mostly made up of links and not all links are bad or about fake ways to make money online . a link is fake if the offer is almost unrealistic but not all links that you click will automaticaly hack/scam you but some will require you to enter you details and this part is obvious .

if I have to download a app on my android phone I let the official website guide me to the real app on playstore
i know someone that download apps outside the store because his reason is its free but one time his phone get laggy and blackout  . i found out that it it got infected by a virus so i reformat his device  . sure he can save money from pirated apps but they have hidden dangers that can cost us more

Bro I don't click on links that's been sent to me by mails or shared in social media, I don't have to explain myself this way I believe that those who understands know what I'm talking about, even on telegram groups people will just drop you links and expect people to click on them

And again you can't get your phone infected with virus if you download apps through their official website, for example coinomi wallet has link to direct app download or refer to playstore app, this way you've escape downloading the wrong app, there used to be fake coinomi app on playstore
