Nokia phone infected by commwarrior
CommWarrior, is a virus that attacks smartphones running the Symbian OS based on Symbian OS 6.1 or newer, such as the Nokia 3650, 6600, 6630, N70… the virus does not affect devices running on the UIQ platform, such as the Sony Ericsson P900/P910 and Motorola A925/A1000. Scanning the infected phone’s address book, CommWarrior periodically sends MMS messages to randomly selected contacts, including a copy of itself and one of several predefined text messages designed to encourage the recipient to install the application.

This virus is capable of spreading itself via MMS messages and Bluetooth. Using MMS, the CommWarrior virus, as SimWorks have named it, can instantaneously send itself to any one of the numbers in your phone, yet only infects those based on Symbian OS platforms. CommWarrior also attempts to infect nearby devices by means of Bluetooth, According to SimWorks, CommWarrior is the first mobile virus to use such a two-pronged distribution strategy.

I had an infected Nokia N70 phone with Commwarrior.c, it became very very slow and I tried many antiviruses that couldn’t do anything. Until I found this one, called Disinfector, I installed it and it removed it and 2 other viruses.

The virus logo didn’t disappear though, so I installed another application that let you modify your operator logo and restore my operator’s default logo.
