Kaspersky works on anti-virus for the iPhone

According to Le Point, Kaspery, the editor of antivirus software works on an iPhone version considering that the Apple device could be the target of attacks, especially if it is jailbroken with software of doubtful origin is installed.
According to Intego who we asked about this subject, it is most improbable that Apple will let pass this kind of software onto its AppStore. It would go against the light years of company policy that has officially stated that such precautions are useless on its products. Moreover, the licence of the SDK iPhone prohibits the development of such software.
This is why Intego circumvented this limitation by authorizing the checking of the iPhone from a Mac.
If Kaspery nevertheless decides to launch such a software, it will be only accessible to those with Jailbroken iPhones and this is precisely their target. However such a move would attract a lot of bad publicity and Apple has a memory for this kind of thing like that of an elephant.
