There a NO KNOWN viruses for iPhone, so there is no need for any anti-virus tools of any kind. If you got a message from some website saying your phone is infected, it isn't. That would be what is called a phishing scam, engineered to scare you to buy tools/software you don't need for a problem you don't have. Don't fall such nonsense.
