Anti-Virus for your mobile?

It was announced today that the mobile phone is no longer free from virus attacks. A virus called Cabir has become the first mobile virus to infect mobile phones using the bluetooth system.

If the virus succeeds in penetrating the phone, it writes the inscription 'Caribe' on the screen and is then activated every time that the phone is turned on. Then it is able to scan for other phones using bluetooth and send a copy to other mobiles.
