Nope. Anti-malware doesn't protect against zero days.

And there's no such thing as antivirus software on Apple mobile
devices anyway.

 He’s so brain-damaged that he cannot read and comprehend simple sentences.
I suspect that he has no idea what a zero-day is. Remember, this is the idiot
who posted that he thought that x.x.x.x was a valid IPv4 address. He
literally has no clue. It is impossible to exaggerate just how stupid he is;
certainly my mother’s Scotty terrier is considerably smarter than he is.
Even if she has been known to chase ducks bigger than she is. Like many small
dogs, she thinks that she’s a wolf. Like many idiots, Our David thinks that
he has a clue. They’re both wrong. It’s a lot cuter when it’s a terrier
that’s wrong than when its a bald ape who, he says, was once a naval
officer.

THIS item explains that an Apple computer /cannot/ be influenced by a "zero day"!

There is obviously no need for anti-malware software on a modern Apple computer.
Why then, I wonder, is this product so successful?  www.clamxav.com
