for all users of nokia symbian based smartphones

there is a new virus called Commwarrior on the prowl
it spreads by bluetooth and tries to send itself to people in your phonebook through MMS
Prevention: Keep ur bluetooth switched off in public places and never receive files from unknown people.

more info:

Commwarrior is a worm that operates on Symbian Series 60 devices, the worm is capable of spreading both over Bluetooth and MMS messages.

When Commwarrior infects a phone it will start searching other phones that in can reach over Bluetooth and send infected SIS files to the phones it finds.

The SIS files that Comwarrior sends are named with random file names, so
that users cannot be warned to avoid files with any given name.

The MMS messages are multimedia messages that can be sent between Symbian phones and other phones that support MMS messaging. As the name says the MMS messages are intended to contain only media content, such as pictures, audio
or video, but they can contain anything, including infected Symbian installation files.

The Comwarrior contains following texts:

CommWarrior v1.0 (c) 2005 by e10d0r
ATMOS03KAMA HEAT!

The text "OTMOP03KAM HET!" is Russian and means roughly "No to braindeads".
