I was sitting at home doin mmy stuff and all of a suden i get the pop up window saying sucessfull conection to bt .............
I was like WTF no1 is sending anything to my PC then i get this pop up message


And the virus deffinition is:
SymbOS.Commwarrior.B is a worm that replicates on the Symbian OS, which is used as the operating system for Nokia Series 60 cellular telephones. It attempts to spread using Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) and Bluetooth as a randomly named .sis file. If it is the first hour of the 14th of any month, the threat resets the device.
From http://securityresponse.syman[....]data/symbos.commwarrior.b.html

I have herd about these before but never realised it "could" actually happen. So im guessing sum 1 was walking past my house and their phone detected my PC's BT was on and sent it?

Go to "start" menu and right click on it and from the resulting menu select "search" and when the search page is opened, write 9cpmwxqfa0.sis or simply .sis and search for it in all the local harddrives...

should give you the location of the virus file.. and then delete it manually..
