Malware & social engineering attack app
This app simply plays off people’s fears & attempts to trick them into signing up for their VPN by claiming their phone “has viruses & malware” through nefarious & manipulative tactics in order to make money aka “social engineering”.
Social engineering is the primary way hacking occurs & this app, which claims to protect against this, ACTUALLY DOES IT! I’m going further to report this app as companies playing off people’s fears are despicable, beyond contempt, & need to be fought without mercy & with extreme prejudice.

Don’t Download Please
I downloaded this app and had my finger on the home button and it charged me a fee so don’t get this app
Scam
Very sneaky app if I knew that you had to pay for it I would not have clicked on it. I don’t recommend this at all.
Don’t trust an app that uses phishing attempts to direct to their app!
Apple confirms that the pop-up advertisement purporting to be from Apple with red letters saying: “(3) VIRUSES HAVE BEEN DETECTED ON YOUR iPHONE AND BATTERY HAS BEEN INFECTED AND DAMAGED” is a phishing attempt
Then in black:
Step 1: Tap the button below & install the recommended virus protection tool from the AppStore.
Step 2: Run the app to remove all malware to repair your phone to 100%
Also in red was a countdown starting at 1 minute and 45 seconds
Then “detected by Apple” and “download and install” link that opens the app store to this app.
As stated, I called Apple support to see if this was real -- it’s not -- and allowed them to see the warning on screen share. THEY SAY IT IS MOST CERTAINLY NOT REAL AND A PHISHING ATTEMPT.

Fake virus alerts don't make your app popular
Don't make fake virus alerts to try to get people to download your broken VPN.
That's just about the equivalent of selling someone a broken battery and sayin it works great, but ends up blowing up in their face.
It's just a crappy thing to do

Scam alert
Beware. This appears on your phone in messenger. It’s a trap to sell you identity protection and very difficult to get out of before you are automatically subscribed and being billed.
