Write viri.

Think about it, the perfect job, the perfect pass-time to complement ur job.

Each time you come up with a new virus, a few days later you bring out the AV.

Get a bonus for each one that you can whack.

Spread via MMS? Spread via MMS my ass!

Send me a .sis file via MMS and i'll eat my shoes.

well, i have no idea whether this is really true, but got this from the F-Secure site:

"The MMS messages are multimedia messages that can be sent between Symbian phones and other phones that support MMS messaging. As the name says the MMS messages are intended to contain only media content, such as pictures, audio or video, but they can contain anything, including infected Symbian installation files"

would you like some ketchup with those shoes?

No problem if you don't use MMS then, is it?

My P800 is safe for another day.

Thats plain old bullsh*t.

I have a 7610 and even using 3rd party apps there is no way to send it.
Plus the MMS cant be larger than 100kB.

saw this on itweb today:

MTN and Vodacom have implemented software applications, code-named MMSafe and F-Secure respectively, which they say will block the new CommWarrior cellphone virus, as well as any future viruses.
