Re: antivirus app for the IPhone?
No--the app store is the only place to get programs, and the approval process means that it's very unlikely for a malicious app to get on your phone. iOS is pretty secure. I trust it with my sensitive data a tad more than I do my PC, if I'm being honest. Grant On 3/7/13, Troy Sullivan troysulliva...@gmail.com wrote: Is it good to have an antivirus App for the IPhone?

Re: Antivirus software
iPhones and Android phones are different and each have their pros and cons. I think the openness of Android is more significant than you portray below, but that's just my opinion. I think there are a lot of things you can do because to the openness of Android that you either cannot do on the iPhone or have to jump through quite a few hoops to make it happen. SD card support, accessing phone storage, physical keyboard options, ring tone management, different synthesizer options, switching to different on screen keyboards, widgets, peripheral support, and the list goes on. True these may not be important to everyone, and there may be ways around these limitations, but I think it's up to each user, sighted or blind, to determine how significant these issues are. If this openness wasn't important to some people that you wouldn't have people wanting to exploit vulnerabilities in IOS to jail break their iPhones. It's also not as clear to me that viruses and malware are not an issue on the iPhone. Malware can get onto a device through means other than just through apps. There have also been instances where Apple has regretted letting apps into the App Store, so I don't know how rigorous Apple's app review process is or that some smart app developer couldn't slip something through. If you Google viruses and the iPhone, you'll see lot of opinions on both sides as to how secure the iPhone is. It's also not clear to me that the only way to create a secure system is by closing it up. Obviously, that limits the points of failure, but having a lot of eyes looking at a code base, such an open OS like Linux, can help keep a lot of programmatic vulnerabilities from existing in the first place. I'm not saying one approach is better than the other. They're just different. Different people will have different opinions, and what will be important to one person won't be important to another. I myself am an iPhone owner, but I just don't see the point in someone using one platform running down the other platform, especially when they don't have experience with the latest and greatest on each platform.

What the android fans love to level against the IPhone is how it is such a closed system and theirs is so open. Yes, open to malware consistently on the rise So far as I know there are few things one would likely truly care about that they do with this open system that we do not have a way of doing. Yes there are a few, they can use more synthesizers for example. Most of what is sited often though it seems they haven't chosen to investigate the method of doing on IOS. So the bang for the buck on that open system is not all that much of a bang I don't think. On 12/12/12, David Chittenden dchitten...@gmail.com wrote: Yes, that happens with Android phones.

RE: antivirus
Hi Thomas, I am not aware of any anti virus apps for the iPhone, but then again you really don't need them since to my knowledge viruses don't exist. Yes, there has been the odd app that slipped by Apple's control and which maybe accessed information on your phone which it shouldn't, but due to the sandbox approach where the ability of apps to interact is very strictly regulated security is pretty good. Just out of curiocity, why do you feel an anti virus app is needed?

Re: antivirus
For IOs I think that is no necesary anti virus, because of the Apps comes from the apple, and they have tested all this apps before make a big mistake, even though at the last months apple has done a lot of mistakes. Even though, in teory we don't need a anti virus. - Original Message - From: thomas williams n4v...@gmail.com To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, December 03, 2012 3:25 AM Subject: antivirus Can you use a antivirus program with the IPhone, If so what program is being used? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: antivirus
Hi, The reason why this happened won't be because of iOS though - infact, do you know for sure that it was compromised on your iDevice? Cheers, Ben.

RE: antivirus
Thomas, I have had both my Mastercard and Visa replaced, the Mastercard before anything happened and because Mastercard suspected it may have been part of a batch of cards that had been compromised and my Visa after an auction house from England charged almost $10,000 to my card and all of that while I was on holidays in the Philippines. Why would your credit card being compromised have anything to do with a virus on your phone? It is much more likely somebody swiped your number somewhere else.

Re: antivirus
Change apple id password, take card off and use iTunes or appstore vouchers as sole means of payment; much safer, a sandbox of how much a compromise can steal.

While purchasing from the app store? My card was compermised so notified the card company and changed my card to be on the safe side.
