I have an iphone 5s, can ut get viruses?
What are the signs of having a virus on an iphone 5s and how to prevent
Yes, the iPhone 5S even comes with a virus already on it, it's called iOS7.0.4 and made by the Apple organisation. It will make your iPhone noticably slower over a time period of about 2 years, and it may even break down completely. The aim of the virus is to give the owner of the phone the feeling that theirs is outdated, it does so by disabling or slowing down many processes that worked fine from the start. It also does by preventing future system updates to iOS8 to work properly on the iPhone. The virus makes sure your phone doesn't last as long as the hardware would actually allow and ensures you will pay Apple so they can play this trick (of buying their iPhones) on you al over again.
No, odds of that happening on an iphone are extremely small. Almost all viruses are related to other phones:

F-Secure, an anti-virus software producer, has released a report that details the saturation of malware content in mobile devices, and it turns out, Android platform was responsible for a whopping 79 percent of all malware intrusions in 2012. Android was also host to 96 percent of the intrusions in the fourth quarter alone.
I guess its possible but very unlikely to happen.
