   Intro

Nowadays, many people use their iPhone, BlackBerry or PDA to browse the Internet. But most of them have not yet considered making use of an Antivirus software to protect their devices!

Your mobile phone can be prone to a malware infection, just like your PC or laptop. When connected to the internet, these viruses can be be harmful to the operating system of the phone, applications, personal information, contacts etc.

   
What are the risk?

• Data loss
• Corrupted files and OS
• Convey private information without your knowledge.

Examples of viruses 

Smartphones running the Symbian operating system are susceptible to the CommWarrior trojan. It has spread from phone to phone via Bluetooth and MMS. Cabir uses the same operating principle as the previous one. If the program is executed, your phone status will be busy all the time. Finally, a third virus called Skulls also affects Symbian OS.
