    It just goes to show that iPhones can get infected too. I've never owned an iPhone, but if I did, I would jailbreak it, so as not to be so ridiculously limited as to what you can do.

    While the article does not mention it, hopefully antivirus software can remove the infection, as an alternative to clearing your phone.
