Virus

A message appeared “ your device is severely damaged by 62% and is being watched” but not as a pop up window but it looked more like it was for the iPad settings that led to App Store to download a vpn app that I did and it seemed to work... after that I deleted the vpn app, cleared safari history and restarted the device.

Do you know if this a scam? How to check if my iPad is ok now?

Hello,


It is impossible for an iPad to contact a virus or any other type of malware. This was just a web pop up.
