Any such message will be a scam.

Double tap the Home button, then swipe upwards on the Safari preview.

Go to Settings - Safari - Clear History.

Restart Safari.

If you try to update or download an app without a payment method, you may need to enter card information. You can remove it afterward. Enter the information and you can remove it after if you'd like. Just don't enter it on a website, it would take you to the App Store.


Also,  devices can't get viruses, so you don't need Norton, but if you want the "extra" security, you can have it.
