Thread: Virus on Handset

  1. #1

    Default Virus on Handset

    Hi, I have a Yahoo mail address and seem to you picked up a Trojan Horse virus that is now sending emails to my contacts unawares to me ...
    I have this same email address on my BB 9780 that I have on contract with Vodacom, one of my contacts replied to the "email" and as I was not aware I opened the link in the email .. I then replied to her saying that it seemed strange ...
    I opened the same email at home on my PC and my anti-virus isolated the Trojan Horse Virus, I immediately scanned my PC for threats and found none (I also informed the recipient to do same) ...

    I am still getting these "undelivered" emails that is being "sent via my Blackberry from Vodacom" and worried that the virus is on my handset !!
    Is this possible and how do I go about confirming / solving it !!!
    Thanks
    Mark

    Unlikely. I don't think I've ever heard of a virus on a BlackBerry.

    I think you got it on your PC. It sends emails to all your contacts in yahoo. All advertising products sent by you. Very embarassing.
    Always logoff when done.

    Try to change your password and for the love of all that is good, don't click on links in email unless you know the address
