For the iPhone, Apple's sandboxing prevents malware from affecting it, and also stops any scanners from checking anything other than their own documents. No applications are needed or available.

For the Mac, avoid downloading software from sources other than the App Store and the developer websites. If you'd like an application, click here and run the tool.
