New virus on Apple iPhone
Created: 17 Oct 2008 | Updated: 21 May 2010 | 20 comments
I just found a virus on an Apple iPhone that scanned our user list and did about 50 login attempts per user. They found a weak passowrd and successfully logged in. They logged in through the iPhone to launch attack.

Can the virus be detected and quarantined or blocked before initialization?

Hello MrIT-422,
Currently we do not offer an AntiVirus product for the iPhone. Do you run any of our security software on the network that was compromised? If so, I would ask you to open a case with us so we can review the information you have collected in more detail to determine if any of the products you are running should have been expected to detect the intrusion.
Don't connect phone to system
keep it away from network
try virus removal tools for mobile phone
bt if our pc is not infected by any virus...then there will no harm to connect the phone to pc.
There are currently no known spyware or virus exploits for the iPhone....so just connect the mobile to the system and scan it properly with latest updated antivirus....if it doesnt work just make a report to the symantec......they will definately find the defination of that virus and will update soon......plzzzz keep patience........and dont worry mobile virus are not much dangerous to system.......
You can use better antivirus for your apple iphone......
i think that these sites will be helpfull

the virus in ur i-phone wont be effect ur pc.........normally the priority of such mobile viruses is not too much risky......you can connect ur java mobile to the pc and scan it properly.....but remember ur AV sholud updated latest.......hope it works......
yes Gizzle,
mobile viruses and pc viruses are different, generally pc virus is nothing but .vbs script and phone virus is symbian C script or malicious Java program........so it does nt matter if we connect infected phone to PC or vice-versa
Mobile viruses are not risky enough to affect pc. You should connect your iphone to pc & scan it.
please just reply the result......i just want to know hav you done wit that virus or not??
hey if this issue is solved.......please let us know about it......
hey just format your iphone.........
