Help me with SymbOS.Commwarrior.A

0 replies · 1,406 views · Started 21 February 2006

Hello,

My Antivirus software, Kaspersky, on my computer, detected the worm SymbOS.Commwarrior.A, also known as Worm.SymbOS.Comwar.a, according to
this page. It infects phones running under OS Symbian Series 60.

My phone is a Sonyericsson K700i. Not a Series 60, that I know. The problem is that my computer got the worm the minute I tried to use the bluetooth. The worm was deleted from the computer with Kaspersky. For my phone I got a tool from Symantec Security Response. But I can't execute it on my phone. I think it is only compatible with the symbian phones.

Can you help me? Is there any chance my phone is infected? How can I erase the worm from my phone?

My cell phone company advised me to insert a code that would delete all the files, the adresses, etc, I have [and the virus, of course]. I do not wan't to do that because I have vital information I don' wan't to lose. My big problem is that the bluetooth is already malfunctioning - because of the worm, I suspect.

Thank you for your time,
Nuno Ribeiro.
