Does anybody have this ??? ive just recieved it via bluetooth and its a bloody virus. Im really hacked off as its knackering my phone.  I dont kno how to get rid off it. I got it from a girl at work, it sent from her phone automatically, she didnt know it had sent and i opened it thinking it was something she wanted to send me...

always leave your bluetooth off unless you are sending or recieving something from someone you know, i bet you wish i had told you this before it happened

I normally have my bluetooth off as i think it runs ur battery down, but as i thought i was recieving something from my friend i thought it was ok. But it aparantly automatically scans other peoples phones.

Because you cant get rid of it. I cant delete it off my phone now. so i have to now keep my bluetooth switched off because if i dont it will keep sending to other people without me nowing.

My mate has a virus on his phone that he cant get rid of. Everytime anyone is within bluetooth range of him his phone detects them and tries to send the virus automatically

On any symbian phones you just need to do a hard reset to get shot of it but it will wipe the phone entirely back to factory. 
 
Restoring factory settings wont do it
