Bookmark topic
only nokia S60 can be infacted !!!! there are no other viruses for cellphones ...,
the viruses that were designed for S60 phones can only infect other S60 phones these viruses cannot damage java platformed device ...
so the chances of an infected k750i are 0 ... !!!!!
So i don't think that any one will post some of these here ... coz it won't effect you'r phone ~!!!~ .....

In the literal meaning yes, a virus is self replicating, but i expect it does not have to be true for software viruses.
Poorly written? Symbian seems to be sticking to the 'self-replicating = virus' definition.
There is an article about symbians stand on the skulld phone 'virus' here:

Wrong.
There are viruses hidden in some Java games, which have infected S40 phones like the 6230. Admittedly however, they're rather basic viruses compared to their S60 counterparts.
The same viruses could potentially infect your K750i. I havent tried to do so, and i dont intend to, but to claim the K750i is not vulnerable is rather ignorant.
Its also worth pointing out that there are also viruses out for Windows Mobile, and Windows Pocket PC, which some phones like the SPV and XDA range are vulnerable to. So its not just S60 phones; again, which are vulnerable. Im sure there are also Palm viruses out there that infect phones that use the Palm OS.

i can say that is most definately true from experience. one file on my mums computer had this thing called PE.Parite, and after a while nearly every file was infected. solved the problem by taking out her hard drive and scanning it as a slave on my computer, and pc-cillin did the rest

@etaab: i don't think the java thing was a virus. it sounds like it could definitely be a malicious application, but the only way to spread it from one handset to another would be to deliberately send it (at least on SE phones where the java operates in a "sandbox" separate from other phone functions).

It was definitely intended to be a malicious app. People, myself included, generalise any app that has a negative effect as a virus.
Be it self replicating or not, any app that can have such an effect on your phone people will call a virus.

nope k750 cant be affected by viruses.. i got 2 on my phone... and it effects other phones not mine!! HE HE!
as for downloading app, if you switch off your phone then turn it back on and view the app again it will be fine!

Hopefully 786KBR's phone will be the first to die from it. Maybe then he might not keep sending viruses out to people for childish kicks.
