    Jeez, and I also saw the ModMyiFone thread, someone is either defending it or just doesn’t know if it’s fake… One post, though, says that their iPhone won’t start.

    • Here’s my take, McAfee would not go around Apple and beta test a virus scan program for the iPhone through a hacker community. That would mean they support jailbreaking your iPhone (which voids your warranty) to install their app. They would more likely go through Apple’s App Store to distribute their product. The only way it would be real is if it was leaked or stolen from them and distributed without their permission. We have contacted McAfee and will let you know their response if we get one.

    • thx…

    The only way, really, to convince everyone, is to actually try it out and make a video or take pictures or something… There is a video on YouTube, that doesn’t give me enough proof known for the fact that only ONE PERSON is testifying this throughout various sites.

  3. We have posted new info about this here: iVirusScan from McAfee is real!
