Should the iPhone only be affected by 'browser pop-ups' or other superficial appearance

of problems, restart the Safari and clean the cache/history to remove the last pages URL

from that browser. Other details follow within page linked:

There's almost no likelihood of an up-to-date iPhone, with current iOS, acquiring virus

or malaware; however 'Malwarebytes for iPhone' may be an OK software to use for this.
