is there a real threat surfing the web with Safari or downloading infected
mails? and if yes, is there a good antivirus app to install?
thank you
bye

an antivirus app on the iphone? there is no issue with surfing on an
iphone regardless of what browser you use.

There is no threat if you haven't jailbroken your phone.
If you have jailbroken it, then you need to know what you're doing.

(Jailbreaking is not the same as network unlocking.
If you don't know what jailbreaking is, then you haven't done it.)

my iphone is not jailbroken (I don't know how to do it and I'm not
interested at all). I'd like to know how is it possible that the iphone is
safe while surfing the web, just a curiosity
thanks. bye

Sorry, I don't understand your question. What do you mean "how is it
possible"?

Because, like the Mac OS it is based on, it's built to be safe ... unlike
Windoze with 99% security holes being advertised as a "feature" by
Microsoft. :-)
