MalWare message

I have received sever messages on my iPhone that states "MALWARE DETECTED Action Required." Is this a valid Apple Message, and if so what do I need to do about it?

Don't worry, I got this message too. It asked me to install a VPN because the "websites I have visited had given me a virus" Don't worry, it's fake. Apple will not ask you to install a third-party app to fix a virus.

Make sure there is no subscription here

https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT202039

and no you do not need one

Also check your calendars ad this may be a bogus calendar reminder that has slipped in.

Ignore the message about malware, there is no malware on iPhone.

I don't know about the Wi-Fi scanner there is a Wi-Fi scanner is on the AppStore but it is only $19.95.

What do i need to do about this message that I receive daily on my phone? Do i just ignore it, or how can I keep from getting it every morning on my phone?

Another Issue: I received an "Apple" Subscription Request for a WifiScanner. I have a 3 day free trial that I have until 3 May to change my mind on the $129.99 yearly subscription. Is this a valid apple product, and, if so, how do i ascertain whether i really need it?
