    A VPN has nothing to do with viruses and the message either came from
    elsewhere or was simply a further inducement to keep the app. iphone
    viruses are extremely rare. iOS doesn't normally need an antivirus as all
    apps are installed from the app store which has lots of security controls
    to remove malware long before anything gets installed.

    If paid by credit card cancel with the card.

    Hi Zaidy,
    You wrote much of my scripts on Windows so I respect your acumen.
    For example:
    REM nettoggle.bat by Zaidy036 20210207 on alt.comp.os.windows-10
    set defgw=192.168.0.1
    set "ip="
    for /f "tokens=2,3 delims={,}" %%a in ('"WMIC NICConfig where IPEnabled="True" get DefaultIPGateway /value | find "I" "') do if not defined ip set ip=%%~a
    IF "%ip%"=="%defgw%" ( %comspec% /c %windir%\system32\route.exe delete 0.0.0.0 %defgw%) ELSE ( %comspec% /c %windir%\system32\route.exe add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 %defgw%)
    exit

    Since I respect you, I need to let you know something about what Chris said.
    Be advised, what Chris wrote is simply parroting idiotic Apple propaganda.

    Chris is completely clueless that no phone has more zero-day exploits
    than the iPhone - which is reliably reported - not by Apple - but by
    the US government.

    Look here for data you won't see in Apple's (brilliant) propaganda:
    <https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog>

    The fact is an iPhone is the most exploited phone in history.
    So cut the crap Chris.

    Stop parroting (rather brilliant but meaningless) Apple propaganda.
    None of the Apple trolls knows anything about Apple products.
