It seems that there are hundreds of thousands of websites with the intent to sell or download illegal software applications, such as the "fake-tear-off" uninstaller. The new iPhone has been targeted by this type of software in an effort to get it to remove the software. However, the new iPhone's Safari web browser has also been infected with a clone of the rogue-tear-off software. This is done by sending a specially crafted web attack through Safari to trick the web browser into downloading the illicit application. When this happens the user's iPhone has no way of knowing that the system is infected and has no way to uninstall it.The rogue-tear-off program also allows users to choose which Chinese app they wish to remove or keep. Up to one million people from India have downloaded the app onto their phone with the purpose to manually delete Chinese apps from their phone. A similar program has been used in China to target iPhones as well. The most commonly targeted smartphone in this case has been the iPhone 4.
Experts in the field have tested and verified that this new virus is able to get into the iPhones' operating system. Therefore, if you use this software to remove china apps, you are likely to cause more problems for your own smartphone. To protect your own smartphone from these malicious programs, you should get an up-to-date antivirus application that is capable of protecting your smartphone from malware such as these. If you don't have such an application, it would be prudent for you to contact your cell phone provider and ask for a download. Do not wait until you come across this problem because it can happen at any time.
