There have been reports of a Mobile phone virus out break called Carib.

According to the BBC, there is little to worry about. What had happened was that a bunch of computer experts in Germany wrote a program that could copy itself from phone to phone.

It uses the Bluetooth wireless feature that modern phones use to link headsets to phones. It can only copy itself to another phone if the person using that phone actually lets it by selecting 'Yes' three times as it is copied and installed.And once it's there all it does is display a message and try to copy itself to another phone.So, in fact, Caribe isn't a virus at all!!!(Website-Bristol News - 21-04-05)
