If your iPhone got affected, is there any way to remove it? I mean the easiest way... This morning I saw this familiar photo on my iPhone 3GS and I’d restored it again.

Also, if you decide to jailbreak (ever wondered why so many, btw?) you should 'know' what you're doing and obviously change the root password into your own. Here's a fix for that: # install MobileTerminal (cydia) on your iPhone. # start this sequence: * su root * alpine * passwd * When asked 4 old password: alpine * enter new password * confirm new password also change the 'mobile user' password; * su mobile * alpine * passwd * enter new password * confirm new password # attention: when upgrading to a new firmware and/or installing an SSH-alike app, check the passwords with mobileterminal. Ok, now your safe from that Astley guy ;-) Remember... it's YOUR iphone after you bought it... you should be able to do with it whatever you like. If somebody 'hacks' into it... he or she is committing the crime... not you. Just make sure your don't leave your car with the doors unlocked. That's all.
