Virus or phish

On my iPhone, when I go on Hawkeye Nation, a screen pops up saying I've been selected to receive a free iphone. You can't get rid of the screen; the only option given is to go on to their site. I have just closed out the program and started over. I investigated and found this is a common but pernicious form of phishing. They said to clear your internet history under Safari and it would go away. This problem has been arising on my iPhone for several weeks, and I've fixed it each time by clearing the history, and that has solved the problem. Today, that doesn't work - it just keeps coming back, and sometimes it takes me to some other blank screen that locks up. This just happens on my iphone, and it only happens when I'm using this site. I'm sending this message from my home computer, which isn't effected.

Not a virus. Just an annoying popup. Try a different browser, like Dolphin or something, and see if you're able to close the window.
