Even with an Apple iPhone 4S or an older version of the Apple smartphones you are no longer safe from viruses. Researchers at antivirus company Kaspersky have an application which is found in the App store that contains malware. The Russian application has since been removed and is seen as the first virus ever discovered for the iPhone devices.
The name of the application is Find and Call and was also in play for the Google Android devices to find. Also there is now the malware removed. A spokeswoman for Apple, Trudy Muller, has confirmed that the virus had indeed penetrated the heavily guarded App Store. When they found out it was a trojan app is removed immediately.
Find and promised to call your contacts easier. However, what the application did was save all your contacts data and send spam to these contacts. Also, your GPS data is stored on a server that was accessible to attackers. If you have the app installed, uninstall it immediately!
