It probably was an infected phone sending you the virus.
That's why the battery of an infected phone doesn't last very long because the virus is constantly using it's bluetooth. It's sending out a copy of itself to all the phones (within range) with bluetooth on and set on discoverable.
Imagine the horror if Nokia's possess long range bluetooth. 100m away and you are still getting that irritating 'confirmation message'.

So is there anyway to protect our phones from the virus, or does it not harm regular phones... like my Z1010 and T68i?

Currently, only phones with symbian OS are targeted by virus makers.
So, if you don't have a P series in your pocket, nothing will happen even if you accept the file(s) being sent to you by an infected phone.
So far, only Nokia's have been infected by the small crop of phone viruses that are out in the wild. I have yet to hear of a P series phone being infected.
