I received a new one today, not from anyone specific. It says it’s from Messenger, with the Messenger icon and it says it sent an
Attachment. I only use messenger on my
iPhone. How do I get rid of it without clicking it?

Opening Messenger and reading the received message might be harmless but do not open the attachment because various files sent from suspicious sources can be infected and lead to more severe malware infections.
However, the particular Messenger virus itself is a malware that can be more dangerous than you think. It delivers questionable content and redirects you to possibly malicious websites or even initiates direct malware downloads.
This article provides more information about the malware type you are dealing with now and offers possible removal steps.
You need to get a reputable antivirus program that is compatible with the operating system of your device. Then you need to scan the system thoroughly and follow what the programs show you. If the tool is working properly it should indicate all possible intruders and malicious or corrupted files.
