Man this jeefo worm is quite something, it got into my antivirus and firewall and also infected all the exe files on my disc, so my whole OS, installer drive everything is gone. I just wanted to warn you and to ask if someone had faced the same problem? I use zone alarm / Mc afee 8. I am in a really bad mood that was a good collection of software and thankfully my lovely MP3 are not damaged otherwise I would have thrown my beige box outta the window.

I doubt it, seeing as there's only one virus around.

Yea! And your average number of posts is like 20 a day! Anyway, can't remember the name of the virus, but it spreads quickly via bluetooth.

It's pretty harmless, and only affects Symbian phones.
And it isn't widespread. So you shouldn't have to worry.

Its a bluetooth virus the only problem it has is lower battery due to more usage of BT. But I have not seen anyone saying that they were infected by it.

Me neither.

I thought that virus should be a rumor because BT devices cannot transfer files without "pairing" and when I saw it mentioned on www.symantec.com I thought maybe it would exist?
