this, the
viruses that attack your operative system
can also damage your cell phone�s
functionality.
It started in 2004, when cell phones that
were attacked by a new virus called Skulls
were found. This virus decreased
dramatically the operability of the device,
making it almost impossible to receive a
phone call; after this, new modifications of
malwares appeared, until a worm for
cell phones appeared, a worm called cabir,
which uses the cell phone�s memory resources
by filling it.
Most of the cell phones that were infected
had an operative system called
Symbian,
which, until now, is one of the most popular
systems among brands such as Nokia, Samsung
and Siemens.

Most of the attacks use as an
infection method the
bluetooth, this technology works
through wireless nets and they operate in a
radio of approximately 30 meters, this is
why it is so easy to be infected.
another infection method that
viruses use are e � mails, due to the fact
that some programmers introduced malicious
codes inside e � mails from many people and
at the same time, they were also attaching
the viruses, this e � mails could be
automatically sent to the user�s contacts,
helping in its propagation been quicker
every time. What must not be left aside is
that the files that are on an
MP3 format
or on a video format and are downloaded from
the Internet, if are downloaded without
taking any precaution, these files can also
have
Trojans attached. |
