READ!! Malicious McAfee App For iPod And iPhone

[AlliPodHax]

Mod Note (Andy Huang):
This is debunked. Please see my reply at end of thread. Thanks!
==================
Original post follows
==================
A repo that claims to be an official McAfee program for the iPod/iPhone and even has a redirect to mcafee.com has been found suddenly in installer, (If you use my source then there is no problem, I remove it)

The Repo is "http://ipkg.mcafeemobile.com"

DO NOT USE IT, I SPOKE TO MCAFEE OFFICIALS AND THEY SAID ITS A FAKE AND THEY MIGHT BRING A LEGAL SUIT AGAINST THEM!!

Also IT Totally F**ked up my iPhone, so there you go i break my things to save you guys...
<!-- removed; do not make alterations to url to bypass filter, thank you! -->

Cheers,
Ben.

P.S. Please Sticky This For A Short While
