The Reader

I read the email warning of Apps not being regulated & potential spy &
other such malicious stuff, good caution

But a question I haven't checked out the iTunes store

But before my iPhone several phones back I ordered a Air Virus Scan
for my touch phone

I wonder if there is such a program designed for iPhones that detect
spyware viruses etc

I wouldn't mind having something that could protect

My iPhone is not jail broken not really interested in doing such

I wonder if Norton or other virus scans or spysweeper etc out there
might have something marketable

At the same time I'll look if I see something I'll share
