My friend had recently bought a new memory card for his mobile phone and the moment he inserted it to his phone, there was a virus alert and he couldn't do anything about it. He had to have even his phone memory formatted to remove the virus. He lost all his contacts because of the same.
I also get virus alerts when transferring stuff from mobile to PC but it gets cleaned by the PC's antivirus, but it's the first time I have seen a virus attacking the mobile phone itself.
Have anyone of you had the same problem before and what did you do then?

i had been into trouble way back 2006 my phone got been hit by a mobile virus named comwarrior and the virus behaves like sending message to all of my contacts and it so very annoying since i can't find a way on how to fixed it.. i am using a prepaid load and my load always out because of this virus... but after that i did a couple of research on the internet and found out that it can be fixed by flashing the phone so i rushed to a cellphone service center to fix it.. and very glad it solves... and when the second time around i got a virus again but i did a little manual reset on my phone and whoo it also get rid of the virus and most convenient to do.. 
and so sorry for the very late response..

Perhaps not yet. I already canceled GPRS to connect internet. Namely my cellphone can't connect internet. I think my cellphone is OK.
I love China

I think cellphone virus is a common nowadays. I remember it start to happen when cellphone use bigger memory and start functioning like computer. I think the virus creator for cellphone are the same people that create virus for computer, ie programmer. But cellphone viruses are more danger cause it can do transmitting date easily using our connection. And it's worse cause it expose to our verbal communication when we use our cellphone. I still can't figure out what exactly the purpose they create those viruses.
