only way you can install new software on a non jailbroken ios device is apples app store, virus and malware and the likes count as software too so you can't get them onto your ios device from an mail sms or website.


the purpose of phishing is to trick you into providing the website with your user name and password for whatever site it protent to be and then steal your account and creditcard stuff.
