I opened myLot this morning through an Opera Mini browser in my iPad mini when a message popped up in the screen informing me that my Apple device was infected by a virus.
OMG! This is the first time I received such message ever since. This happened only when I opened this site. I don't know where I get it and how I get it. So, I reset my device and deleted the Opera Mini browser. I hope it will resolved the issue. Currently I am using the Safari browser in opening myLot.
I thought all Apple devices are virus-free. Any suggestion or thoughts about it?

I have an ipad mini 3, and haven't encountered that as of yet. Apple devices are very safe and tthat is a puzzler as to why you got it. I just hope that it can be figured out, and taken care of.. It seeems that mylot admins are right on top of things and do get things fixed when necessary.

@Macarrosel I am glad to hear that, as I always figured that the Apple products are safe from viruses. I have never encountered any viruses in my iPhone or ipad mini.

@rosekiss Yeah, and now I agree with you. What happen to my device was maybe an isolated case then.

@rosekiss that's great to know that your iPad mini is safe. Anyway, I believe it was resolved already and seems my device is fine now.

@SIMPLYD Yeah, me too. That's why all my daughters' smartphones are iPhones and I am using an iPad mini here.

@SIMPLYD Not me, my husband did. He bought my three daughters iPhones. And the irony there, me and my husband are using the cheap ones hahaha.

You must be having an anti virus software to take care of such eventualities.

@rahulvsmokiee it was my husband who bought it for me. And he bought it for the reason that it was a virus free device.
