In a somewhat ironic move, AVG announced it would be developing an Antivirus App for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

The move to bring AVG to the iPhone was announced by the company’s CEO, JR Smith, in a recent interview:

“We can’t add a layer of protection on to the iPhone today, so that’s a lot of the conversation that we’re having with Apple.”

It would be somewhat ironic to develop an Antivirus App for the iPhone since background processes are forbidden by third party developers and that there have been no known viruses for the iPhone’s variant of OS X.
