I believe safari wouldn't allow pages that contain viruses to be displayed.

Viruses are hard to come by on a mac, and the iPhone sports a similar OS, so (for now) you don't really have to worry about a virus on your iPhone.

That's my take on it as well. Virtually all viruses are designed to exploit Windows and IE so I wouldn't sweat it too much.

You have got that right, they check in and it's almost impossible to get them to check out without a lot of trouble.
