It looks as though one of the first major virus scanners is seeing life on the iPhone. McAfee has quite un-officially released the, “iVirusScan“, which can be used by the iPhone, or the iPod Touch. As of now McAfee hasn’t made an official announcement of the anti-virus program release.

Just like other anti-virus programs, with the iVirusScan, you can do a full scan of your contents, download updates, and adjust settings.

In a report, from iPodNN, one user got an official response from a McAfee representative stating, “The application you blogged about is indeed a genuine McAfee project…We are always working on new platforms including the popular ones. In this particular case we were running a test to validate some recently developed technology. We happen to be first to test AV technology for iPhone. We’re happy that iPhone users are already getting excited about it, as evidenced by your blog and the thousands of people who are trying out the application. Still, we are not ready to announce a new product, our development work is in the early stages.”
