Although there is no virus known yet for Apple's iPhone, but McAfee is still developing its antivirus software. The new application, offering full protection, is not yet officially announced, but it can be downloaded and installed from http://ipkg.mcafeemobile.com/. One iPhone user claimed to receive the following statement from McAfee PR, Joris Evers.
“The application you blogged about is indeed a genuine McAfee project. We are always working on new platforms including the popular ones. In this particular case we were running a test to validate some recently developed technology. We happen to be first to test AV technology for iPhone. We’re happy that iPhone users are already getting excited about it, as evidenced by your blog and the thousands of people who are trying out the application. Still, we are not ready to announce a new product, our development work is in the early stages.”
iVirusScan, although it can be downloaded, is in its beta phase and in no way should anyone consider it as a final product.
