Feeling confident, I decided to check it do a quick test on my iPhone. Hey, it worked for Safari on my Macbook so, technically speaking, it should work on my iPhone as well, as it is just a mobile version of Safari.

Why Protecting Your Computer Should Involve More than Antivirus
Since the days of DOS, we have been told to install an antivirus program on our computers to keep our computers protected from viruses and other malicious software.

Antivirus programs have also become more advanced in how they have detected malware, but have fallen short of protecting a computer 100% from various malware. In reality, most antivirus products are “reactive protection” from malware, and not “proactive protection”, meaning that they are able to find and remove malware once the malware has infected computers. While antivirus programs are still an important piece of securing your computer, it is now recommended to have a layered defense when it comes to security.
