  1. Hey guys just want a second opinion on this as I am not very familiar with apple products. Long story: My sisters fiance is deployed over seas and apparently between the US and where he is his phone picked up some form of malicious program (I'm thinking possibly from a "free wifi" in an airport) and recently he accessed his bank account on his phone shortly there after the attacker got into his account and cleaned it out making off with thousands of dollars now he really needs a cell phone and there aren't any apple stores or for that matter any stores he has access too in addition road side bombs and various other political issues have made it so they are not receiving any packages. He does how ever have access to shitty wifi and can have access to a computer there. we are thinking that running a factory reset should wipe the phone of the malicious code allowing him to safely use it again. Am I correct in this assumption? Are there any other options you can think of? Short story: Need to remove virus/malware from iphone with only wifi and possibly a computer. will a factory reset completely remove it? Hardware: Iphone 5 Im not sure if this is the right area for this post thank you for your help.
  2. I just got a new 512gb SSD and wanted to transfer my 150gb boot partition from my 2tb HDD, I used EaseUS todo backup to clone the partition every thing appeared to go all right the cloning finished I shut down the PC, removed the HDD to test SSD and this is where the issues started. I got the "reboot and select proper boot device" screen I checked in BIOS and confirmed that it registered it. I assumed the cloning had just failed(more on that latter). I reinstalled the HDD and found my self at the same "reboot and select proper boot device" screen. At this point I think the cloning must have corrupted the drive but to be sure I test the HDD on my 2nd PC where it boots up just fine (I also tested the SSD and had to run recovery on a windows install USB to get it working) so now I go back to the problem PC and try the HDD from my second PC, same issue. I try swapping cables , updating bios ,reseating ram, powering the drive from another PC all resulting in the aforementioned screen. The only time I got it to boot into a drive was when I installed the SSD and ran a clean install. Ideas?
