Do Apple phones have built in security software?

I keep getting messages telling me my data is corrupt. If you access it, it is an ad for Norton software. Is it true that iPhones have built in anti virus software?

Unless you jailbreak your iPhone, I don't believe there is any way to install and run a virus on an iPhone, as the only way to run software on it is through the App Store. The App Store does not have malware on it and all the apps will not harm your phone. But be careful what apps you install anyway as some app's privacy policies are not so friendly. I hope this helped!
