You don't require any Antivirus for Windows Phone. Unlike Android phones, WP is very secure so there is nothing to worry.

[someone2639]

Windows is known for security, as stated above.

[Rakesh Rocky2]

Lol antivirus what is that??

[Rozdzan Waadd]

Nokia Lumia doesn't have antivirus but got antiporn that its kid's corner.....haha

[WanderingTraveler]

Long story short, Windows Phones don't suffer from massive software vulnerabilities, leading to the lack of need for antivirus software.

Not if the apps contain ads that go directly to Internet Explorer.

In other words, the best antivirus is the latest update.

There is no antivirus available for WP nor is it necessary. WP is very secure with every app sandboxed. A virus simply wouldn't run.

Lemme guess, you were an android user!

[kivancio]

There isn't any virus for WP.

The most any site could try is to throw up some scary looking popup and hope to convince you that you do have a virus!!!!!

You have a virus! Click here to stop it.

(not a real virus)

[always_salil]

Say I click that. What would it do? If I close ie and open a banking site later, will all be good? Or should I be worried?

[Reflexx]

It won't be able to install anything in your browser or phone. You'd be fine.

[someone2639]

Especially since there's no link.

I think the reason why people ask, is because Windows on pc is extremely susceptible to viruses - If no antivirus is installed.

Because these messages are popups or in other words spam.

Its spyware disguised as a senseless add. Windows phone don't get viruses because of their intricate programing. You never need to worry as windows phone is pretty much bullet proof in so far as viral attacks. iOS is the same too Apple phones are very safe virus wise too its Android that are the main hitters as their OS is so open to threats. That's why Avast antivirus is available for Android phones and not Windows Phone.
