> Shops taking advantage of cell phone virus scare
Bookmark topic
Unscrupulous cellphone dealers in the Phillipines are taking advantage of people’s fears about viruses and charging people 500 to 1000 pesos (around 9 to 18 dollars) to remove the Caribe virus from their Series 60 phones. Keep in mind that Caribe isn’t much more than a proof of concept virus that does nothing other than use Bluetooth to find other phones to infect. That does slow down the phone a bit, but there’s no data loss or snooping or whatever. In fact it’s pretty easy to get rid of the virus for yourself with a file manager application so don’t get suckered into paying someone else to do it for you.
