How to remove a smartphone / iPhone calendar "virus"
If you’re seeing numerous calendar entries appear daily on your iPhone or iPad calendar, they could be enabled via a subscribed calendar. In most cases, a virus did not add them to your calendar, and your device is not infected. It’s still important to unsubscribe from the calendar because entries make your iOS device appear to be infected, and they can contain dangerous links.
