Is jailbreaking an iPhone giving your phone a virus?

I have done it in the past and people moan about it screwing up there iPhones. Mines was ok until I unlocked it (old 3GS)
Some say virus are able to break through if jailbroken ?

I have jailbroken my iPod Touch, iPhone4 and 3GS(unlocked & jailbroken), and iPad 1st gen! And have never had one single problem with them. I don't know if they can get a virus but I doubt it.

So far so good for me.

I wouldn't have it any other way! And I've never had a virus on my phone while jailbroken.

Jailbreaking your device does not give it a virus. I've not heard of a virus getting itself onto an iDevice. The only thing I can think of is somebody installing OpenSSH on their device and not changing the default password from alpine, thus allowing idiots access to their stuff for malicious purposes.
