I don´t know anyone, but ask Andi86 from S60 Island board.

A few guys said they wrote S60 viruses possible to attach in *.sis files. Don't think so!!
don't worry with that

yes....

it do have...

schizo does mention that before..

[Leon]

Of course you can write a worm for S60 phones included in a sis file. E.g. one who automaticly opens a GPRS connection or something without asking you to push your trafiic-counter high so your bill explodes :) and send itself to all in your contact list...

But where you noticed schizo ... Did you hear / read anything from him / her in the last days or weeks ?

i dont think there is no such thing as gettin a virus in ur nokia 3650/7650........ :confused:

[AMKOR]

Possible is someone makes one... its like any computer virus thats
out in the PC world......

[anthony_qu]

Maybe a virus can
1. attack *.app file and add its virus code
2. make machine slower and slower
3. autoly send itself to everyone from contact list by SMS, GPRS, IR, blueteeth or email
4. use some way to send info of the machine to a certain database
5. run itself in inbox and attack the phone of recipients

But there's some problem:
1. network compatibility
2. machine type compatibility
3. platform compatibility

also i forget anthor problem
it's virus size. the store mem of phones is limited

OK then and the question that comes immediately is - if there is such virus on my phone, how can it be cleaned ?!?!

don't do this, it will format your phone.

well, what sum1 made a sis file and just some stupid .app and .ini files to overwrite the language and fonts files and maybe just overwrite system files. that would be possible easily.
