Any developer that creates an app for a specific platform has the obligation to provide support and updates to the app so it works correctly. Apple cannot update a third party app to fix any bugs, only the Developer can do that so that is the contact point for support.

For example if you are having trouble with the Apple Music app on a Windows platform, Apple provides specific Support Articles for use on that platform and would be the contact point for support if you are having problems. It would not be Microsoft that provides support for the app since it is on the Windows platform, and the same is true for the device, you would not turn to Dell, Lenovo, or HP for trouble with the Apple Music app on their device.

Can anybody advise? Thanks

My advice would be to not use Microsoft Defender at all. You may also see that it installs a proxy on your network connections and users have reported problems with that too. Any support for the software will have to come from Microsoft. The same is true for any app that you are having trouble with, as it is the developer of the app that would have to come up with a solution.

Troubleshooting Phishing Scams:

I. Report these Scams:

For the record, I don't use MS Office on my iPhone, but I would recommend you report these phishing scam's content. You can report it to the Federal Government and Others (i..e lawyers). You'd use the Photos app, and then copy & paste needed text --elsewise, you'd have to type it all at once. Use my User Tip: Using the Photos App to Report Scams: - Apple Community

II. A Few Important Apps to Consider Using:

A. Bouncer:

One third-party app to consider using is called Bouncer. It blocks unknown callers, based on message contents, particularly wording. Find it Here on the App Store: Bouncer: Spam Text Blocker on the App Store - App Store

B. Malwarebytes for iPhone:

One item usable is Malwarebytes for iPhone. Keep all the junk out. Get it Here: iOS Security - iPhone Call, Text, and Ad Blocker | Malwarebytes - it Blocks Scam Calls and Filters Site usage. It is developed by longtime users of these forums, making it the only reliable and official Security Software for an iPhone. It is something to consider when it comes to blocking out junk.

C. MalwareBytes Premium for iPhone:

This application can be found in the AppStore. It allows its users to do their part in all of this. They can report scam calls, by submitting the phone number, to its developer and adding a few lines for notes on the report upon submittal. In high-relevance to this case, it blocks popups from those phone numbers their customers have reported. Texts can be set to be received only by those in your contact list.

If you were having a problem with an Apple app.....would you be asking Microsoft for help?

If a Microsoft Support person sees your question on this Apple user to user site, they might answer. But, what are the chances that a Microsoft Support person will ever see your post on this user to user site?

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us

Then why are you asking for help with a Microsoft product on an Apple forum?

That's a shame because Defender is a Microsoft product and this is a Apple product support forum.
