I have an iPhone 3GS (still like the older phone) and an iPhone 4S. Attacks against smart phones are continually on the rise and I see conflicting information on the security level of iphones, Blackberries, and androids. Do I need to install antivirus software?
iPhone 3GS, iOS 6.1.2
Nope.
There are no viruses affecting iphones.

Hi friend,
Apple devices are coverage with firewalls developed by Apple that you don't need to worry about viruses atacks.
Oh, and remember: never jailbrokes your devices...
Thanks, there seems to be some sites with thoughts that there may be a threat to the iPhone at some point, but all indications seem to be that iOs is the most secure system (so long as they are not jailbroken) with androids being under the greatest threat and some feel 2013 will see a dramatic increase in the number of attacks against smartphones and financial gains / identity theft will be among the main drivers, going beyond just the rritating mundane stuff.
No, you don't, unless you have jailbroken your precious iPhone.
In case you didn't notice, this thread is 2 years old now. The suggestion about jail breaking was mentioned.
Do I need to install AntiVirus software on my iPhone?
