It is possibly the news which many people didn't think they would ever hear when talking about Apple's iOS App Store, but one app that is available on the store for download has been found to contain a malware worm within its guts.

It’s believed that over nine months have passed since Apple publicly released iOS 5, bringing with it a whole host of new features and developer APIs including the much loved Notification Center. The previous notifications system - if you can call it that - on iOS devices was clearly in need of a revamp with Apple deciding that the best route to go down was to overhaul the system entirely and introduce a notifications hub where all app announcements are placed together.
Weather apps are the new rage at the minute, with a number of good looking and unique weather experiences finding their way onto the iOS App Store and Google Play Store in recent weeks.
