Threats from the internet

I accidentally pressed some links on the internet that strange websites popped up. After that, there are events on my calendar that cannot be deleted - the events pop up everyday. How do I check if there are viruses in my iphone and how do I fix this? How do I delete these events?

(When I tapped on this event, unlike other events, there is no delete button. Does this mean that my iphone has had virus?)

iPhone XR, iOS 13

You subscribed to a spammer’s calendar.


Find and remove the rogue calendar.

Lots of scams aroundM too—phone calls with spoofed senders, fake Apple support mail, all sorts of tricks:

Clicking on stuff in spam mail (such as “unsubscribe” links) and in calendar entries will likely just draw more spam and more scams.


Oh, and many add-on VPN apps are, well, sketchy.
