It’s able to monitor for malicious processes, keep your system up to date and protected, and even warn you if your OS has been hacked. The fact is that iOS devices are inherently very secure, and that very security makes it difficult for antivirus apps to scan for suspicious behavior and impossible to repair infected files.

Lookout is one of the only iPhone apps that actually monitors other apps for suspicious behavior, using its App Monitor feature to alert you if any apps on your device are running malicious processes. Lookout also warns you if you’re missing any important security updates that could leave you vulnerable to attack through its System Advisor, uses jailbreak monitoring to warn you if your OS has been hacked, includes a safe browsing feature, and can tell you whether or not a Wi-Fi network is safe to use.

Trend Micro Mobile Security is a subscription-based service that costs about $30 per year, but the price goes down if you pay for multiple years at once. For that investment, you get a host of features that are designed to keep your device safe from online threats. The top of the line web filtering offered by this app works right in Safari, and other popular browsers, so you aren’t limited to a hamstrung custom browser.
