SO!

According to anti-virus experts F-Secure, the Commwarrior virus on mobile phones is not spreading fast due to a design flaw with the code.

The virus is taking anywhere from 15 minutes to 3 hours to send one virus-laden MMS message to another phone. This very slow delivery is probably why the virus hasn't spread too far despite being discovered in January this year.

"This thing has been out since January and if it operated at peak efficiency we would all have had it by now," said Mikko Hypponen, head of F-Secure's laboratory. "Another factor holding it back is the relatively low number of people using MMS. Here in Finland most people get MMS as standard, but that's not the case for most of the rest of the world."
