You didn’t get a virus by downloading the app unless you downloaded it from a website and not from the app store.
If you downloaded it from the app store please post what app it was so Apple can action it. Also delete the app, and cancel any subscriptions that were related—>See or cancel your subscriptions - Apple Support, then request a refund and give FRAUD as the reason—>Request a refund for apps or content that you bought from Apple - Apple Support
If you downloaded it from a website you need to restore your phone to factory settings—>Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
In either case go to Settings/General and scroll to the bottom. If you see an entry for Profiles (just below VPN) open it, tap on the profile and delete it, then restart your phone.
