It's simply sending out spam messages using Bluetooth..
The message could contain anything, doesn't necessarily have to be a virus

Bluejacking is a practice of sending anonymous text messages to mobile users using Bluetooth. Phones that are Bluetooth-enabled can be tweaked to search for other handsets using it that will accept messages sent to them. However, a user can avoid these messages by setting their device to "invisible" or turn off Bluetooth when not using it. Bluetooth is a protocol that allows devices such as mobile phones and laptops to send data to other devices, without wires, over distances of about 30 feet.
