MTN Blocking of Commwarrior Virus MMS's

MTN users can be pleased they chose our network. We have already implemented a live system which blocks the current version of the Commwarrior virus from spreading via MMS.

You can rest at ease that MTN will stop commwarrior even if the source is a user from an unprotected network.

Obviously you can still catch the virus if you accept a direct bluetooth connection from an infected source. Therefore only allow pairing connections with bluetooth with trusted sources.

It is also still advisable to take precautions such as those specified at the following site:-

Standard functionality of the MTN MMSC I believe, requires little in the way of implementation.
