Ok folks !! Hang on... The file the poster received is most likely the commwarrior virus. It shows all the symptoms of commwarrior. The most prominent being the random naming of the sis file... The poor chap who was "spreading" the virus most likely is unaware that his phone is infected and is trying o infect others! The suprising fact is that this virus has some loophole which can cause to send a file even if the infected phone user has switched off his bluetooth! This has been tested by me many times.
Correct if already infected. However if not infected turning off bluetooth will protect.

We had this at work the other week, the virus installs and then constantly sends itself out to anyone in range.
Even if you turn off your bluetooth it still sends itself out as you cant actually deactivate your bluetooth even though the phone says it has.
There seemed to be no other affect on the phone other than your battery running down as bluetooth was in constant use.
You can removed it from your phone by using a filemanager to delete the install files
