Is it really anything to worry about or a load of fuss for nothing?

The threat is now very minimal and not destructive. But soon, it will be destructive and very real.

At this moment in time the chance of a symbian virus spreading in the wild like a pc one is very low,but many people believe that with more being written its going to become more of a problem,keep an eye on security vendors and see what the year brings.

I'm worried about Symbian getting like windows with viruses. I'm alarmed that viruses could possibly run up big bills & send mms, sms & emails without my knowledge.

i wouldnt worry, windows is full of loop holes and at the moment no one can make a symbian virus like that, i have a p800 which would be the 1st to crack and ive not had a virus i downloaded that tread anti for fun lol
the more you worry the more likly it is to happen!

I'm sure a virus is possible, but that would mean that someone has to have access to your phone. The most likely means of transmission would be bluetooth since phones aren't always connected to the internet unless you tell them to.
Keep bluetooth off in highly crowded places and set a timeout on your GPRS connection and you should be relatively safe.
