Had a link sent to my iphone alomg the lines of " you really need to have a look at this Mark it's about you' (yes I know, stupidity moment)clicked on it and it was, I thought just a spam site to check who is watching you on facebook, twitter and the internet etc. Thought nothing of it but just read about what seems like the same link which it calls the blackhole virus. I was on my phone which I dont have any antivirus so should I be worried?
Thanks

There is an AV programme for mobiles here: though an internet search only showed a black hole virus for PC's in the USA.
