So the iPhone has a virus. A trojan no less. F-Secure has confirmed the same, but it was a site for iPhone enthusiasts, called Modmyifone.com, that first got reports of this information. According to the site, this particular trojan masks itself as an update to Erica's Utilities and is labeled as "113 prep." It's been designed to target modded iPhones that are capable of installing third party applications, such as the one mentioned above.
F-Secure said that the trojan installation package contains false application installation information that causes legitimate third party applications to be removed if the trojan is uninstalled from the iPhone. F-Secure also reported that the website hosting the trojan has been taken offline. This application removes files from the /bin directory on the iPhone, breaking valid apps like Sendfile and Erica's Utilities.
