The phones work, like computers or other devices with operating system used to make a connection means between the user and the computer. Due to advances in technology in the Internet communication technology devices, had to implement certain technological applications for these phones to suit the user's needs in these times require. Although the increase of technological support was positive, this led to the emergence of malicious code against these devices.
In 2004 began to expand these programs throughout the network infectious starting first with the first case of a Trojan called Skull, which can unconfigure cellular services and let the OS just to make phone calls. It also happened one infection by a worm called Cabir, which can infect any device that has support for java and symbian what the virus is doing to taxing the cell slower than normal and could be inoperative or until you can not turn it on.
All these programs were used by malicious hackers or in some cases by the same developers of operating systems to earn extra money. Today many of the models whose operating systems are Symbian Series 60 are being attacked by several viruses to the latest models from brands like Samsung, Nokia and Siemens.
A route of infection is by sending data through wireless or Bluetooth technology, or also known as radio stations such as WiFi, infections made online. Causing more distrust in using this type of wireless service among friends as time goes by the high probability that their devices loaded a virus unknowingly.
The company F-Secure antivirus offering has announced the entry of more than 100 new mobile virus in 2008 and is on the increase as only just a small group of programmers virus to infect large numbers, the company also reported Bluetooth means that where there is more vulnerable.
So far, 2009 has detected a new virus from the English company F-Prot, which can spread via text messages (SMS) and mobile phones with Java-developed operating systems are more likely to attack, because this programming language is the most widely used, it is known that the content of text messages containing malicious carry "OTMOP03KAM HET", and apparently is an attack by Russian programmers whose sentence reads: "No for mindless ", to attack a device that is distributed to all the phone numbers stored in the phone and is sent automatically to all contacts.
After that attack, the next step is forwarding messages to yourself in order to fill the memory of the cell phone , it is known that bears the description: "Commwarrior.A" This virus is also sent via bluetooth.
It is highly advisable to have an antivirus installed in external memory and the device, these are readily available online.
