Cybercriminals use a whole range of tricks to try to steal the personal data stored on your iPhone – or entered online via your iPhone. Targets include passwords, bank information, and contacts.
One way of stealing your account details is by using phishing websites, which imitate banking websites and online stores to access your data. These websites look like the originals but are in fact fakes – and steal your data as soon as you have entered your username and password. Our virus cleaner for phones is one of the few that includes the Web Protection feature to block phishing websites.
Free phone virus protection for iPhone
Download the free Avira Mobile Security app to use the features which come as standard with the best free antivirus for iPhone:
- The Call Blocker is part of the phone antivirus app and lets you easily create a blacklist of contacts that annoy or disturb you with unwanted calls or text messages.
- The Anti-Theft tool, helping you find your phone by pinpointing its location and triggering a loud alarm from Avira Connect. This means you can locate your missing device by its position on the map, and by the alarm call.
- Store all contact information in a safe place. The mobile security app features the Contact Backup function, which means it is easy to send all your contacts to email, Dropbox, or Google Drive.
- For more information about your iPhone’s use of storage and memory, check the Activity report feature in the iOS antivirus and iPhone virus cleaner app.
- Shop and bank securely online using Web Protection, as the antivirus software for iPhone automatically checks sites for threats.
- Leaked Email? Another great feature is Identity Safeguard. It checks whether your email has been compromised in a security breach and raises the alarm. If you use your email as a username to log into various websites, cybercriminals may be able to steal your password and change it. They may also use the combination to access other websites. If you use the same password for different sites, the damage this can cause is comparable to a virus on your iPhone. Our mobile iOS app automatically scans your email - and those of your contacts - to see whether they have been leaked online.
