    Why get this? Never even put it on my computer because it felt like it would add more virus than remove!

      Willie, it is typically advisable to completely discard software you don't plan on using, as a product should be reviewed for its' efficacy with a well-rounded point of view.

    There is a reason why it is free. Completely pointless unless you have a PC. No need for your iOS or OS device.

      Nate, there is not an antivirus option available for Apple iOS devices. Because of how Apple manages the apps available in their App Store, there is not a need for one currently. This may change in the future.

      Webroot does offer two apps you can download from the App Store to backup your files and protect your internet browsing, called SecureWeb and Backup & Sync. You can find either of them by searching for "Webroot" in the App Store on your Apple iOS device.
