Is it possible to have a VIRUS from a picture file or ringtone downloaded to your phone to date? Can it disrupt the functions of the phone? Would Norton be able to create an anti-virus for cellphones?

Wow really interesting question. I dont think so cause if it is possible then there should be an anti virus program for cell phone already. Isn't it?

I've heard about a few viruses. If your phone starts to act funny just restart it.

It might be possible if it is a P800 or 7650. Then there would be a symbian software for anti virus eh? Hehe

To date, no. But when the phones come with more and more advanced downloadable applications the chances would increase for a virus finding it's way in to an application. It would, on the other hand, not be able to get in to the telephony part of your unit.

Actually guys viruses are a reality on cell phones.
I remember reading about a virus that spread through
sms messaging.
And also obviously viruses will spread more with all the new high-tech
phones coming out.
