I know virtually nothing about IOS so apologise in advance! I am asking on behalf of my elderly sister who has an ipad.

 

She says her anti virus won't renew because it doesn't like Chrome. I am asking her for the AV name but, in the meantime, does she even need an AV program on an ipad?

Smells like a scam IMO.

Thanks, folks. I am embarrassed to say she didn't give me enough info and I assumed she was talking about her ipad. In fact, I find out she was talking about her husband's win 10 laptop. 

 

I think he was using Internet Explorer so no bloody wonder eset nod32 complained!! 

 

I am red-faced so don't be too hard on me.

 

Note to self - wait till get more details before making assumptions and embarrassing oneself. 😡

i think the answer is still the same. uninstall the AV and the windows AV will (Should) take over.

Yes, that's exactly what I advised.
