I sent a friend an MP.4 video and when he got it the attached message appeared. Has anyone seen a message like this…. I never have and my phone seems to be acting normally.
Can anyone recommend a good antivirus for my new iPhone 13 Pro Max❓

Simple answer is no. You cannot install any antivirus on iOS device nor there’s any reason to. Sideloading might change things but it is still months if not years away.

Just ignore that message and move on. I’d suspect that message being virus than the actual file sometimes if it shows up on iOS device if you know what I mean.

Looks like Gmail (seems so) popups. I'd rather recommend you to change the pass to Google (mail account) password, setup 2FA if there's no any.
Also, check last activity to find any clue why your account marked as suspicious one

Then this is odd really. Maybe it was the first time you send an attachment through email to your friend. Or he has some problems.
Quite reasonable is sending an email to yourself (same and to a different account)
And maybe that mp4 file....Could be marked as malicious, but in nonsense in that case mail provider will not accept that attachment because of SHA checkup)
