All about Commwarrior-- Mobile Phone Virus

All the devices running the Symbian Series 60 platform operating system could be infected by Commwarrior virus that invades a phone either through Bluetooth or Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) and then sends infected SIS files to other phones, which means all Nokia phone could be potential victims. In addition to spreading over Bluetooth, the Commwarrior will also read the user's local address book for phone numbers and start sending MMS messages containing the Commwarrior SIS file. Whether by Bluetooth or MMS, the person receiving a virus would have to choose to install the virus, either by selecting that option from the Bluetooth notification or choosing to download and run the embedded file from the MMS message they receive. The virus cannot be spread to the receiving device unless the user of the device chooses to run the application.So keep on the watch out for text messages with an unknown or unusual subject line. Example of affected messages include: SymbianOS updateOS service pack #1 from Symbian Inc.In case you have already installed it, McAfee offers a down-loadable application through their website that will detect and delete the Commwarrior virus.
