    Need antivirus application for iphone

    Recently I have purchased an apple iphone from an apple store. I have installed 4.1 versions in it. I have hearing a lot that malware and viruses are infecting smartphones these days. Is this true? I have read that security software companies are offering antivirus software for Android and Windows Mobile phones. But I don’t know whether there is any antivirus software available for my iphone 4. I have not jailbroken my iphone yet. So I think it is much safer then. Please tell if there is any anti malware App for the iPhone? Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    Let me tell you that you don’t seem to be having much knowledge of iphone. Iphones can never have viruses. So developing any anti- malware application or any antivirus solution would just be a waste. There is no need for the companies to develop an antivirus solution for iphone. It would be all is waste of money and time. Just for example even if there were antivirus application for iphones then also it wouldn’t have worked on your nonjailbroken device. The application would need ios to do something which wouldn’t have been possible. I hope you get my point.

    I think you can get a firewall for the iphone but it has to be jailbroken if you want to work with it. As your device not jail broken so you cannot even get the firewall.

    Well VirusBarrier iOS is the first malware scanner that you must have. VirusBarrier iOS lets you to scan e-mail files and other files that you have access to on your iOS device or files on remote locations such as MobileMe and DropBox. VirusBarrier iOS is an "on-demand" detection system that allows you to scan the files when you want it to. If you want to have this application then you have to pay some amount around 3 dollars. For more information regarding this you must search in the google website. You will find the solution over there. You can also visit the apple store near your place to learn more it.
