Anti-virus can only protect you from the consequences of phishing scams in that if you install a virus when you fall for a scam, the anti-virus might pick up the malware. Some antivirus software will also scan executables that may be embedded in emails. Anti-virus will NOT tell you whether an email is phishing.
