Hello Pharmdori,

Installing the Malware program on your iPhone made the heat problem worse as the program is making the iPhone CPU work much harder all the time. My advice is to Uninstall the Malware. Just make sure to keep iPhone up to date on the Apple Security updates.

See this Apple Support page on iPhone operating temperatures.
