Mobiloe phone viruses

If you are using a Windows based Pocket PC/Mobile Phone or a symbian badsed phone,then you must be lucky enough if not
encountered a Mobile Phone virus.Here is a summery of mobile phone viruses(better say virus families)available till date:

1.Bardor:It reads the localhost IP adress and emails it to the virus author.It displays irelevant messeges to the user, it can upload and doenload files from PDA and can execute arbitary commands.Infects Windows based Pocket PCs.

2.Cabir:The very first mobile phone virus detected.Infects symbian series 60.Cabir infects mobile phones that are left in "discoverable" mode. If the user clicks yes, the Cabir worm will activate and show a dialog that contains the virus name, the author's initials and the group initial.

3.ComWar:It is the first worm to use MMS messages in order to spread to other devices.If it is run within the first hour of
the 14th of any month, ComWar.A resets the cell phone.

4.Dampig:The Dampig trojan disables some system applications and third-party file managers and installs several variants of Cabir worm on the phone. This Trojan disables Bluetooth UI, system file manager, messaging applications and phone book on the infected hand-held. Also, Dampig will corrupt the uninstallation information in the system installer so that it cannot be uninstalled without being disinfected first.

5.Duts:Infects windows CE or pocket PCs.The only sign of infection is a window that asks a user if the code is allowed to spread. DUTS code often includes a message derived from the science fiction book Permutation City by Greg Egad that reads, "This code arose from the dust of Permutation City."

6.Locknut:Locknut.B is another malicious .SIS file that pretends to be a patch for Symbian Series 60 mobile phones. It disables the phone so that it can only be disinfected with a special disinfection tool. When installed, Locknet.B crashes an important system component, preventing any program from being launched. It also copies Cabir.V to the phone, but since Locknut.B prevents it, too, from being launched, it causes no immediate harm.

7.Qdial:Infects symbian series 60.sends an SMS message to specific premium rate numbers and can charge affected users for the sent messages. Apparently, the affected numbers are from the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland regions only.

8.Skulls:It pretends to be a visual theme for Nokia 7610 smartphones. Various versions of the Trojan turn application icons into a skull graphic and mismatch icon labels in order to disable all applications except voice calling. Later versions only placed a skull in the background of the phone's screen.Infected Indian subcontinent users massively.

9.Velasco:The virus file of this velasco.sis,will not arrive automatically to the target device, so a user needs to answer
yes to the transfer question while the infected device is still in range. When the Lasco.A worm is activated, it will start looking for other Bluetooth devices and starts sending infected velasco.sis files to the first device it finds. After the first target phone is out of range, Lasco.A will continue searching and infecting other phones. Keeping a phone's Bluetooth visibility setting in "hidden" will prevent infection.Infects Symbian series 60.
