> A virus on my W810?
Bookmark topic
After I transfered some files from my pc to my phone,I notice that a <foldername.exe> file had been created in each of the folders of my phone. In the audio folder there was an audio.exe file, in the videos folder there was a videos.exe file,and so on! These files were all 41kb. They even were detected by AVG Antivirus as viruses. A already deleted them. Anyone else with a problem like this?

You should do a virus scan on your pc. The W810 is not harmed by the windows executables. Your pc has most likely created these foldername.exe files in every folder when you connected the phone.

Hi
If my K750I is attached to my computer while Norton is doing a full system virus scan it will also check the phone because it thinks its an external hard drive.
Plug your phone into your computer & give it a scan & see if it turns up anything.

Are you 100% sure your computer is virus free now?
Depending on what version of Windows you are running.
If its a Windows version with system restore ( I know XP has this feature ) you need to turn it to OFF & then virus scan your computer again, Then when everythings clear turn system restore back on again.
If you dont turn system restore off, The next time you boot the computer up the virus will be back again.
Norton & other virus removing software cannot erase stuff from the system restore folder because Windows wont allow it access.
