Virus is very common to some cellular phone users. It is very disappointing to receive or to have some viruses in a phone. It is very hard to remove it sometimes. I had encountered in the past, reformatting my phone because of the virus in stored in it.
My dear friends and fellow mylotters, how about you? What can you say about virus? Does this gone also to your phone?

Virus is not harmful to all phones but smart phones like Symbian,windows phones will face that type of virus mostly attacked virus is comm-ware it is very danger to phones if it attacked to the phone that phone will restarted mostly but phone format is best option to kick out that virus or any virus from phones like Nokia 6630,6600,7610,5233,5230,5800 etc. we can remove the virus from by pressing call button,* button and 3 button after switch off and putting those buttons then hold those buttons carefully switch on the phone then phone will formatted working fast but phone data was removed so tack care before formatting. mostly virus can't harmful to phone that Symbian only.

My old cellphone had infected by virus before. It is a nokia phone with symbian operating system. The virus is keep sending short messages to random number without my notice. It is a very troublesome virus and i can only remove it after i instal an anti virus software.
So far as i know only cellphone with java or no operating system who can't be infected by virus. The others like symbian and android could be infected by virus. I didn't know about apple though because i never try that cellphone before. The virus could enter our phone when online, activating the bluetooth, receiving some link via mails, and so on. If your cellphone's operating system is between symbian and android, then it is better to instal the antivirus program so it could keep your cellphone safe from any troublesome virus that can infecting your cellphone anytime.

Now a days virus is the most common factor in the electronic gadgets.All mobile and computer users commonly faced viruses.most viruses designed for computers not for mobiles so only some of the mobiles can get viruses which works with symbian operating system because symbian OS quickly access the mobile virus not Java models.

I have never gotten a virus on my phone. To me it's like a myth for my cell phones. My computer is another story for sure.
