They are phishing messages, designed to scare you into buying tools/software you don't need for issues you don't have.


You do NOT need virus protection on an iPhone (unless you have Jailbroken your iPhone, which is not a good thing to do).


Ignore the messages. Report them as junk. Block them. Don't interact with them at all.
