Unless your iPhone is jailbroken, it can't get viruses and no AV app is recommended. Can you tell us a bit more about what issues you are seeing and what you have tried, so far yourself, to resolve this this issue?

It is not possible to delete Safari. Here is information on deleting built in apps ➡️ Delete built-in Apple apps on your iOS 12, iOS 13, or iPadOS device or Apple Watch - Apple Support


You will note that Safari is not on the list of apps that can be deleted. And, in fact, no apps can be deleted with iOS 14.


However, the use of Safari can be restricted in Settings/Screen Time/Content & Privacy Restrictions - Allowed Apps.
