Should I install an anitvirus software on my iphone 4? if so whats recommended

Should I install an antivirus software on my iphone4?   If so what is recommended?

None is required. There are no viruses/malware that can affect an iPhone that has not been jailbroken. All apps are vetted by Apple and the app store is the only legitimate source for apps.

  • Hi. I run parallels, should I install anti virus software?

    Hi
    I run parallels on my mac, should I install inti virus software on the Windows 7 I am using?

    This does not make it any more or less neccessary to run anti-virus software on the Mac itself. You must install some kind of Windows anti-virus software in the virtual machine, however, if you are going to be using the Windows system in that virtual machine to go online or deal with files obtained from questionable sources. If that Windows system can be used in isolation, then you should be okay to skip the anti-virus software.

  • TS1702 After installing the new software to my iPhone 4S , my dream zoo either will not start or when it does it has a blank screen that has a few icons on it that wont work. How can I fix this is it possible to go back and reinstall the older software ?

    After installing the new software to my iPhone 4S , my dream zoo either will not start or when it does it has a blank screen that has a few icons on it that wont work. How can I fix this is it possible to go back and reinstall the older software ?

    Unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work. Thanks for the help though. I tried to uninstall and it said I couldn't because the file is corrupt or something, but I think I finally got it uninstalled and/or deleted or whatever, but now I try to reinstall/download it again from the beginning and I can't. No matter what I do I can not get Firefox working again. No matter how many times I try to redownload it. Any other suggestions?

  • I have iphoto 4.0.3. Should i install canon a630 software?

    Hi. I have the new digital camera Canon a630 that has its own software that claims to install pictures in the pictures folder. Should I install this soft ware or just use a media card reader...in order to keep iphoto as thephoto organizer of choice on my desktop. I haven't upgraded it as it has all I need!!
    Thanks in advance.
    Lisa

    Thanks SMTR! I did get the image browser on the softward CD - and I've never had a camera that does the videos so thanks for the great tips!
    Either of yours or EWWs answers really did address my question but eww got there first so I said he solved it! I always worry about "hurting things"!
    original ? > Lisa,
    If you like iPhoto, I do recommend using a card
    reader for importing directly into iPhoto. It makes
    things so easy. I've read that iPhoto 4 can choke on
    video clips from newer cameras, so you might want to
    import them separately from your photos with a
    different application ( Image Capture or the Canon
    software).
    Did your camera come with ImageBrowser? I have a
    version of that. It's a file browser, so mostly
    incompatible with iPhoto (since you are not supposed
    to mess around with the files in the iPhoto library
    folder). However, I keep it for occasional, specific
    uses. I like how it plays video clips right in the
    main window. And it has a really cool utility called
    MovieEditTask that can stitch together video clips
    and do light editing. It lets you rotate a video clip
    90 degrees, which iMovie does not do. I have used it
    for light video editing before importing into iMovie
    and was pleased with the results.
    Anyway, I agree with eww- it's free, it won't hurt
    anything, so you might as well give it a whirl.

  • It is should be installed an antivirus software for iMac product?

    Hi dear Apple..
    I would like to ask about an antivirus software for iMac product. It is should be installed for virus protection, for example Kaspersky Antivirus?
    Thanks..

    OS X versions 10.6.7 and later have built-in detection of known Mac malware in downloaded files. The recognition database is automatically updated once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders. In most cases, there’s no benefit from any other automated protection against malware.
    The most effective defense against malware is your own intelligence. All known malware on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of trojans, which can only work if the victim is duped into running them. If you're smarter than the malware attacker thinks you are, you won't be duped. That means, primarily, that you never install software from an untrustworthy source. How do you know a source is untrustworthy?
    Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown site, merely in order to use the site, is untrustworthy.
    A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim.
    “Cracked” copies of commercial software downloaded from a bittorrent are likely to be infected.
    Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. No intermediary is acceptable.
    Disable Java (not JavaScript) in your web browser(s). Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This setting is mandatory in OS X 10.5.8 or earlier, because Java in those versions has bugs that make it unsafe to use on the Internet. Those bugs will probably never be fixed, because those older operating systems are no longer being maintained by Apple. Upgrade to a newer version of OS X as soon as you can.
    Follow these guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can reasonably be.
    Never install any commercial "anti-virus" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use the free software ClamXav — nothing else.

  • Due to virus attack i had to format my windows laptop...now when i installed new itunes software i had to sync my ipod touch again but it says that if do the same then the data on my ipod touch will be erased....how should i protect my ipod touch data?

    due to the virus attack i had to format my windows laptop...now when i installed new itunes software i had to sync my ipod touch again but it says that if i do it then the data present on my ipod touch will be erased as it is syncd to some older library... how should i protect my ipod touch data?

    With all you media (apps, music) in the iTunes library connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup. Do that by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up. Then restore the iPod from that backup.
    Note the the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

  • What is the best way to see what toshiba software can/should be installed?

    I'm thinking about formating my A100-454's hard disc, starting from zero and installing Windows Vista Ultimate.
    I would like to know what (last version, and preferently, in portuguese language) software/drivers should i install. Is there any webpage that gives that information?, without being "dumped" by a search that gives "any software any drivers any version" downloads (yes, i'm forgetting the filters...:) )?
    I ask because, as you all know, the laptop cames with many software/utilities installed, and, at least i, don't really know "what does what " and i would like to see a page that objectivelly, would say "for A100-454 ... install these software and drivers, this software does this, this software does that..."
    Regards, from Portugal

  • MS OFFICE 2010 Upgrade - what client software Should be installed ?

    Hello All,
    We are soon Upgrading from Windows 2003 to Windows 2010. Can you please let me know what client software should be installed?
    Current Setup
    Excel 2003 - Essbase excel add in - Release 9.0
    Server - Sun solaris 64 bit - Release 11.1.1.3
    Target Setup
    Excel 2010 - Essbase excel add in - *( ?? what version should be installed here)*
    Server - Sun solaris 64 bit - Release 11.1.1.3 ( Will remain same)
    also can you please let me know if i have to upgrade any client related software at server side ??
    I have seen a latest version of client software 11.1.2. is this backward compatible with 11.1.1.3 version which i currently have at server side.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Smart View 11.1.1.3.500 and Essbase Spreadsheet Add-In 11.1.1.3.500 are supported on excel 2010, so you just would need to install them on the client machines.
    Cheers
