iPhone antivirus: do we need it? E-mail

So it'll tell you whether your iPhone had been pwned, but it won't do anything to stop it. Still, "If any malware or infected files are found, VirusBarrier X5 alerts the user and offers to repair or delete the infected files."

It's probably a sensible feature to add to an AV package - especially as a free update - but I'm not convinced that most iPhone owners need to worry too much about it.

VirusBarrier prices start at $US69.95. The software can be purchased from Intego's web site.
