One more virus, nothing to write home about

MobileTech is reporting that Simworks have discovered another Symbian virus, this time one that affects only the more modern Series 60 phones running the latest Symbian OS v7. It does not affect UIQ phones. The virus, dubbed Gavno (as well as a variant Gavno.b) is said to be dangerous and "is able to" render your phone unusable, but can only infect your phone if you run a file named patch.sis. Not exactly contagious - but consider yourself warned.
