You don't there is no need for one, as there are no known virus/malware/hack for a non jailbroken iphone/ipad.


What makes you think you have malware?

Starting About a month ago I was unable to use Apple Mail for all my email accounts except a Microsoft Outlook account with my job. It would say unable to reach server or SSL error. This was across all my devices (iPhone, iPad, MacBook). I was able to login to all accounts via web browser and found unauthorized access to my AOL account. Deleted this, changed password and deleted AOL from all my Apple Mail apps but the problem persisted until 2 days ago when Apple Mail started working again. Have NOT added AOL back to Apple Mail.
