Why install antivirus software on an iPhone? What's in it for you, apart from anti-theft and Web protection?

Looks good, any noticeable slowdown?

Like you, I use an authenticator and Proton Pass. My main protection is based on AdGuard Pro (tracking and DNS), network protection app by my internet provider and Hush to block nags about cookies. My iPhone is very responsive.
What I like most about AdGuard: you can choose your own tracking filters ( AdGuard DNS filter and oisd big) and DNS. I use ControlD Malware as my DNS server.

You have not met Mclovin before I'm assuming, he has always been a fan of Trend and runs it on anything that will accept it lol.

That aside, iphones are not immune to infections, although they are rare. They can still be infected via malicious apps, links and websites. Maybe Pegasus and Adthief ring a bell?

As most will know my name throughtout MalwareTips, I've been using Trend for years.
Apple is not completely bulletproof when it comes to malware.
The web protection and anti-theft (minus Apple's Find My iPhone) is couple of the great reason's I run Trend.

I've experienced no slowdowns.
Been running this setup for years now (minus the new features Apple bring out).

Proton is an amazing business.
Have used them for a while now.
Having an authenticator is essential in today's digital world.

Practical is correct here.
Anyone who has been around the forum for years will know I've been a Trend Micro fan for years.

Some significant changes in my iPhone config.
Moved away from other browsers and now use Safari as all the other browsers use the same WebKit as Safari on iOS. I've really modified the settings in Safari along with 1Blocker.
