mobile virus? Help!!!
I have heard of mobile virus before but I thought it was just a myth or rather, it is never real. However, truth hit me when my mobile phone was infected by the virus.
This virus was sent via Bluetooth when I was sending mp3 song/ ringtone to my colleague after dinner. While in the MRT station, I found that there were lots of people who turned on their Bluetooth. However, I was not sure which “profile” belongs to my colleague until he told me.
Anyway, I received from a “profile” named $Evonne$ and I thought it was a message. As usual, I read the message and pressed the buttons so quickly that I did not realize that it was a virus. Initially, I thought it was just a theme whereby I could use it. After installing it, I realized that I was not able to find the application which I have downloaded. Try as I might, I was not able to find it at all. I spent hours browsing the phone’s menu but was in vain.
Something happened when I turned off my Bluetooth application. My mobile phone actually shuts down, on itself and I thought it was a malfunction, which, happens once in a while. However, I began to realize that the frequency went on more frequently. It was only then, I suspect that my mobile’s been infected by a virus.
I felt so bad that when I reached home, I tried to use a PC to try to get rid of the virus but was not able to. In fact, when I turned on the Bluetooth in the Computer, I realized that the virus actually auto sends itself to the Computer. Of course, I did not accept the virus into the computer else it will be a disaster.
After trying to get rid of the virus in vain, I got rather upset with how things were. What got me more upset was that, even after I shut down the Bluetooth application, the virus would auto send itself to whomever who calls in or sends text message to me. It appears as a MMS to the unknowing party.
The wonderful thing was that not many people called or even sent text messages to me that Saturday. If not, it will be a real disaster!
If you have received any MMS from me or even been hit by the virus, please forgive me. I did not do it deliberately. It is really not intentionally sent to you and I have never want to get anyone into trouble.
Right now, the virus has been cleared but I will never forget this lesson.
Should you receive any messages or applications via Bluetooth through an unknown party, do not be like me… I know I was silly but… what to do? What’s done cannot be undone.
