I think I might have a serious problem with my iPhone after visiting a porn website. I didn't download anything, but after I clicked off a pop-up, my phone started acting weird. Now, every time I try to turn it on, it only stays on for about 4 seconds before shutting off again. During that brief moment, the Apple logo changes colors, which is strange. I'm really worried—do I have a virus or is something else going on?

It's very unlikely that you have a virus. Your iPhone is probably experiencing some sort of software or hardware issue instead. Try doing a hard reset: tap the volume up button, then the volume down button, and then hold down the side button until the screen turns off. Let go when you see the Apple logo. That usually helps!
I tried that, but it says my phone is dead now—at least that's a step up! I'll keep you posted when it charges.
It's unlikely that you've caught a virus. Just a coincidence that the issue arose after visiting that site. If possible, it might help to take a video of your phone's behavior for better troubleshooting.
LOL, yeah, a video of my phone, not me!
This sounds like a hardware problem with your iPhone rather than something from the website. If you describe the symptoms along with your device model on a mobile repair forum, they might help you figure out what needs fixing.
You don't have a virus. Just try restarting your phone. It sounds more like a glitch than an infection. If it keeps shutting off, there might be an underlying issue.
I wish I could restart it! It just turns off completely, like it's dead, and lags for a few seconds before shutting off again. What do I do?
That didn’t work for me either. Now I'm really freaking out because it just keeps shutting off!
