How do I Erase my I-Phone's virus?

[iMore Question]

If I restore my I-Phone would it take out the virus on my phone? And if so how do I restore my phone?

I've never heard of an iPhone virus before, where did it originate from? A restore will remove it, yes.

I'd be interested in knowing why you believe you've got a virus in your phone. The chances of that are pretty low. In either case, performing a restore should remove whatever bug you're experiencing. I'd recommend creating an account in our forums for a follow up. Explaining what is going on may lead to a better resolution than a restore.

I've had an iPhone for 5 years. I never heard of one case of one having a virus. Maybe one that's jailbroken.
