Mobile virus information
CABIR
The Cabir virus infects SYMBIAN phones using the serie 60 platform only!
It spreads using the bluetooth function in the phones and shows itself as "cabir.sis" in the inbox folder, which contains the virus!
If the user chooses to install the application in curiosity the worm instantly starts to look for other units to infect via bluetooth.
The Cabir worm will try to infect only ONE other bluetooth unit per reboot, if it succeeds sending the cabir.sis file to it, it will lock to that phone and then not try to send the file anymore. When phone is turned off/on it will try to infect one more and so on.

Cabir virus can ONLY infect phones which are in bluetooth "discoverable mode"!

To remove the virus, install a file manager application and remove the following files:

c:systemappscaribecaribe.rsc
c:systemappscaribecaribe.app
c:systemappscaribeflo.mdl
c:systemrecogsflo.mdl
c:systemsymbiansecuredatacaribesecuritymanager caribe.app
c:systemsymbiansecuredatacaribesecuritymanager caribe.rsc

Its a "proof of concept" virus, asking for persmission to infect the [URL="http://www.ipmart-forum.com/#"]PDA[/URL]. Not considered dangerous.

When the virus is launched it will prompt the user with "Dear User, am I allowed to spread?" - Just type NO, and you dont have to think anymore about it

Dutts infects files more than 4096 bytes and only in the "My Device" root. Therefor its easy to remove yourself with a file manager. Just delete all the files there.

MOSQUITO
The virus infects Symbian phones!
"Mosquito" is a game for symbian phones you can buy, but on P2P services there is a cracked version of it.. which has the virus in it!

The Mosquito virus is an extremely evil one of its kind. When playing the cracked game, text messages is continuously being send from you phone to numbers in United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland!

SKULLS
Infects Symbian phones!
This virus replaces all the icons on your phone with "skulls" and deactivates all menu's on your phone. Only incomming calls will work on infected phones.

On the internet and P2P services Skulls is called "Extended Theme Manager" se be aware of that name!
To remove the virus you will need to HARD RESET your phone.


SKULLS-B
This virus infects symbian phones and does the same as "Skulls".
The only (And big!) difference is, that it spreads like the Cabir worm by bluetooth, making it able to spread by itself without the users permission to install it.

To avoid this virus but you bluetooth phone in "Hidden" mode so the Cabir virus cant find it. If you have been infected you will need to hard reset your phone to get rid of it, just like normal "Skulls".
