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.
