i Have A Virus

The iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch haven’t yet been subjected to too many security problems. One of the main reasons for this is that only a small percentage of people own them. Another big reason is its “almost bullet proof” nature. But although it is extremely secure by design, the iOS does have a lot of loop holes in its security compared to, say, Android. Especially the jail-broken ones.

We all know that the internal storage of this device can store files from all sources. This is can turn out to be another threat in your Apple device. When we download malicious content from our computer, e-mails or any infected website which is harmful for Windows users for the purpose of transferring those files into our iPhone or iPad, we could be asking for serious trouble, as it is a major threat for our iDevice as well.

Everyone should have at least one security solution software on their PC, which will disinfect any infection and destroy any malware or Trojan that tries to enter your iPad, iPod or iPhone through your computer. But, in case you wish to have another protection cover for your device (because you hold the key to The Pentagon) Intego has launched a new app.

The name of the new app is VirusBarrier, exclusively for iOS, it is very effective in managing the security angle of your device. Unluckily, it is a bit limited because the iOS is designed differently from Android, which means that scanning must take place manually, one at a time.

Still, if you’re toting around critical files on your iOS device and want to check out new additions from outside sources before plugging in to one of your desktop systems, VirusBarrier for iOS is well worth its low price.
