About Malwarebytes:

Malwarebytes' developers collect reports of junk and phishing calls from their customers. They then add it to their list of known numbers, and all is blocked out. As a side note, Malwarebytes is developed by longtime users of these forums, making it the only reliable Security Software for an Apple device. So, uninstall Norton form your iPhone, and use Malwarebytes.
