First virus in Cydia

iphone-ipod-touch-virus

Apparently someone has managed to modify the package «snes4iphone»(Yes, the Super Nintendo emulator) from the repository of zodttd and when installing it, it modifies the file Package.html by Cydia and displays an advertising window on all Cydia screens.

If you have recently installed this emulator you have probably noticed this. Although in theory the advertising window should no longer appear, to fix it simply reinstall Cydia, going to Manage / Packages / Cydia Installer /and click on Modify and then Reinstall (this will not erase previously installed apps).
Saurik, the creator of Cydia, will take measures so that nothing similar happens again. This time it was nothing, but it could have been something much more serious.

    I just knew it !!! there is something strange in cydia!
    the other day I downloaded several emus including that one!
    I deleted them after a couple of days because I wasn't using them and I started to notice little problems!
    the numbers of the notifications that appear in the icons such as the mail!
    you only saw the number, without the red circle.
    the slowest iphone.
    I closed applications very frequently.

    I turn it off, turn it on and ... Apple and more apple!
    so restore and by the way go to 2.2.1

    now it goes smoothly!
    almost every time I install some cydia it ends up screwing up the iPhone.
    It is normal?
    The only thing I have now is a cycorder and some plugging that was necessary for some of the apps.
    installous always fine, slow but fine.

    It's weird ... because I have a lot of things, including plugins, themes, apps and many others that I use from the Terminal. and it suits me perfectly. by the end, I also have the NES emulator with 1200 roms .. and it's perfect.

    I have iPhone 8Gb EDGE
