Well today it hit me how real viruses on phones are, my mate got one and it does something so it DOESNT boot up the phone, it corrupts a file so the phone keeps trying to boot up but fails, it does it over and over. I was wondering has anyone got a FREE antivirus program for their phones? Any recmndations would be grately apprciated.

C}{r1$For a standard cell phone or a PDA/Smartphone? I don't KNOW if you are able to install any type of protection on a standard cell phone. You can for PDAs though.

FlameSince CommWarrior struck last year, AV corporations suddenly became extremely interested in the cellphone market; at least for the Sybian OS. F-Secure, Symantec, McAfee and others were showing a very keen interest in the summer of 2005 whilst Kaspersky Labs were ACTIVELY beta testing a solution with a full PRODUCT release thought to be iminent.

Cabir and Redbook bring the number of malicious cellphone PROGRAMS released in the last year or two to around 150. Sophistication seems to be increasing exponentially and the target area has suddenly vastly increased with the discovery of what could well be a serious threat to java based phones.

Currently, Symantec have released [highlight]Symantec Mobile Security[/highlight], F-Secure have a detailed deal with Nokia to protect it's phones and have an evaluation version of the [highlight]F-Secure Mobile Anti-Virus[/highlight] offering available.
Kaspersky Labs, who are well ahead of the pack and at the very leading edge of this technology, has absolutely nothing to offer within it's product range or within it's public testing catalogue.

If you Google for "cell phone virus protection", I would imagine there are at least a few other solutions available.Yea thanks for replies guys.
