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.

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
