apps reported as virus

That is a Windows virus, and cannot affect your Mac. Removing it is all that is necessary.

Even though this cannot affect Mac OS X, inclusion of malware in an App Store app is still a very serious issue! I have downloaded it and see the same problem here. I'm not actually sure where to report such a problem, but I'm going to look into that.

It seems entirely likely that it's a false positive, but best to flag it up anyway. Apple needs to check the archive and someone needs to submit it to ClamAV as a false positive. Not sure who's best to do that as I suspect sharing an app downloaded from the AppStore is verboten.

Looks like I spoke too soon. It appears like it may not be a false positive afterall. Letting ClamXav delete the app was the right thing to do. We also need to flag this up to Apple somehow.

It's on CNET news now: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57478793-263/windows-malware-slips-into-app les-ios-app-store/

It is nothing to worry about. Considering where this virus is located, it wouldn't even hurt a Windows machine. It looks like an accident from the developer's infected Windows machine.

The best thing to do would be to send an e-mail to the developers so they can upload a new binary.

I'm still unclear as to whether it's possible to push a notification upstream in order to let Apple (and others) know this app is infected, whether intentionally or not.

I have e-mailed an address at Apple that was given to me by one of my colleagues in the security industry. I have also posted a note on the developer's Facebook page (which appears to be the only way to get in touch with them) and added a review of the app detailing the problem to the iOS App Store.

As much as I agree with etresoft that this can't hurt you, and that it wouldn't even hurt a Windows user, it is troubling. This was probably accidental, but we can't rule out the possibility that it was a probe to see whether Apple screens iOS apps for malware that can affect other systems. Why anyone would be interested in doing that, I don't know, but I learned a long time ago that just because I don't see the reason doesn't mean there isn't one! In any case, though, we've just learned something interesting about Apple's screening process.

Apple has removed the app from the iOS app store. The page for it is no longer available. Whether Apple will have the developer correct the problem and resubmit it or other action has been taken (suspension, etc.), is unknown at this point, but at least it's been dealt with.

Thank you For Emailing is us about the Infected app , We are Now working with apple To Push the Updated app the the appstore . Thanks
