The Apple Rapid Security Response is not anti-virus, it's the name of an Apple update intended for recent versions of iPadOS.

Yes, you want to install it. It is recommended for all Apple platforms.

I'm presently installing it on various Apple devices.

If you're really still running iPadOS 14 as indicated by your footer here, you're years behind on iPadOS updates, too.

Anti-malware protection is already built into iPadOS, iOS, and macOS.

If you're really still running iPadOS 14, fix that first. Update to current for whichever iPad this is.
