Many people are wondering what antivirus should I use for my IOS device. Well it is hard to say exactly but I will give you my top 5 based on test results and their product features. Note that these are going to be for IOS there is no certainty that these apps will be on your Android device stay tuned for that post where I can give you my first hand pick on my top 5. Now you will notice that this list is short, and there are not a lot of products to choose from the reason for that is Apple has rejected some major companies from making a mobile antivirus.
1. Avast! Secure Line VPN Paid Only
Avast which is an award winning antivirus offers its security to the IOS unfortuatley like most iPhone apps it comes with a price. So this is not a free antivirus which is strange since it is free for Android. I am questioning their motives behind this, but it is probably because people who use Android are typically in a business environment unlike that of the iPhone which is mostly used by teens and children. So if you are willing to pay for an award winning antivirus this is your best bet.
2. Norton Identity Safe (Protective Browser Not A Full Suite)
This is a security app for your iPhone that gives you safe browsing of websites that have been scanned by Norton. So you could argue this is your website protection, but it will not protect you from your apps. There is also the fact that you can safely store all of your apps in the Norton cloud.
3. Lookout Antivirus (Free, Antivirus)
This security app has been growing in popularity over the years and is definitely your best bet for an antivirus that is free for your IOS device. There are many reasons for this and the main reason is Apple says no you may not create that app. Now this app includes a tracker that will allow you to track down your phone if it is ever lost or is stolen.
4. Trend Micro Mobile Security
Trend Micro is not a well known antivirus company, but their products have always done pretty well on tests and they have proven to be okay, but they also have a bad reputation. But their mobile app is definitely worth looking into because you will see what they have to offer. The best thing is it is one of the very few antivirus for the IOS devices they also have a lot of other apps that offer you more forms of security that you might want to look into.
5. McAfee WaveSecure
McAfee has been known to do moderately okay as far as tests go, but they are far from the best. They don't fail the antivirus tests, but they don't do anything amazing which is why it earns its self a spot on this list. This is a full fledged antivirus for your IOS device, but it will cost you money which many people are not willing to do. But if you trust McAfee over Avast then buy this product, but if you are going to pay then use option number 1. The app barley made the list but I gave it as an option but I don't personally recommend the product because McAfee its self is not great on tests.
