does anyone else have or has had this virus? i looked through all the threads and didn't see it anywhere but can't believe it hasn't come up in the past.
here's the description per symantec..."SymbOS.Commwarrior.B is a worm that replicates on the Symbian OS, which is used as the operating system for Nokia Series 60 cellular telephones. It attempts to spread using Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) and Bluetooth as a randomly named .sis file. If it is the first hour of the 14th of any month, the threat resets the device."
does anyone know how to get rid of it?
i've tried everything listed on the symantec site but nothing seems to be working. you can download a .sis antivirus program. but when i bluetooth it to my phone and try to open it i get an "unknown file format" warning and it won't open.
here's the symantec link.
symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2005-030809-4208-99&tabid=1
anyone with any knowledge of this virus and how to get rid of it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

my n70 has just been infected with a virus, where images on my gallery duplicates themselves. is this some kind of a virus? can u suggest what antivirus would be best?
btw, with regard to the info above, when I am to format my fone, will it erase the OS and it will only restore the factory settings? I'm afraid to format coz i dont have copy of my OS.
Thanks.
