The mobile virus called Trojan-SMS.Symb.OS.Virus specifically targets smartphones running Symbian 60 OS v 3. Kaspersky Labs in Russia spotted it first, and kudos to them, because this virus will cost you a lot of money as it sends SMS to a premium SMS number. This virus is not meant to be purely malicious; the virus author has profit on his mind because every viral SMS you will be paying for, half of the revenue will go to the virus author.
So far, the virus’s reach has been limited to Russia and countries where free software is a trend. This may be a curse to phones like the Nokia N95, which overreaches its “phone-ness” being dubbed as a “multimedia computer.”
If it is a “computer” then it should have what computers have too- VIRUS.
