Virii to screw another platform

If you live with the virus infested OS that is Windows you might not mind this new up-and-coming trend. It seems there are reports of a virus infecting Symbian based smartphones. This article mentions the possibility of an example being found “in the wild” but it hasn’t actually been proven so it may be a big scam to sell some Antivirus software to a new platform. It also only affects Nokia Series 60 phones based on the Symbian 6.1 OS so at least it’s limited in that regard. At any rate, the little bugger spreads itself via MMS messages and even scans for other victims via Bluetooth in order to propagate itself! The MMS ‘feature’ could be a real problem for people that pay per message too. Similar cell phone virus reports have been made in the past as well as proof of concepts, but this time it seems a little more problematic due to the financial damage this particular virus could cause to users. Is the Symbian OS the cell phone Windows equivalent?
