A mobile phone was far less likely to be protected as a laptop or desktop. While users of iPhone, Blackberry and other PDA operating on the Internet through their terminals, most of them have not yet adopted the gesture of using antivirus software to ensure their protection. Smartphones run the Symbian operating system have been under attack from trojan virus CommWarrior. It has spread from phone to phone via Bluetooth and MMS by the contacts in the directory automatically, unless we can stop the process to stop. It is also the case of Cabir, which used the same principle as the previous one. Although still very few viruses and worms have appeared on mobile phones, they are not excluded from being infected in turn to the future. Given the recent trends that reap the rise of mobile Internet, according to some professionals will not frankly amazing landing a few times of new threats to smartphones and PDAs.
All activities that you're supposed to do on your mobile are manipulations that may be vulnerable to read and manage your email, browse, download etc.. The contamination is therefore when you get the virus either directly or through a file is already infected by the virus (involuntary exchange between two mobile or downloaded file). Thus, if by chance you are hit by an infection of this kind, it is not really possible to say exactly what you would expect because the failures vary depending on the origin, capabilities, power and characteristics of the program. In contrast, in the worst case, you may, for example losing data, find files corrupt , provide private information without your knowledge or that your battery is empty in the blink of an eye.
