Hello Everyone.
 
I was talking to a Apple Tech regarding my iPhone. He told me that iPhone dose not get any viruses.
Is that True or not ?
I have this Lookout  app which is free, Is that any good ?
Thanks.

It is generally harder for iPhones to get compromised, but that doesn't mean it is impossible, especially if you jailbreak.  Apple restricts access to the OS for AV and malware protection though, so that makes it hard for us and others to offer apps to protect you.  We do have a secure browser for iOS though, that you can find here:
