A Cell Phone Virus? Is it really possible? Yes, it is. Think of your cell phone in the same terms as you think of your computer. If your cell phone has the Internet on it and can browse the web and open email attachments and sync with your Outlook and on and on, it really isn’t much different is it? Did you know that there are nearly 1,000 viruses that target North American cell phones directly?
What to Do if you have Problems?
Without hesitation, I would advise you seek professional help :)but in regards to your phone, I would recommend the following:
1. Make sure you always have a copy of your phone book, emails, addresses etc. backed up on your computer or elsewhere. You know if you get a virus you are going to lose everything. Even if you think you are never going to get a virus, you should ALWAYS have a back up your information anyway.
2. When in doubt take the battery out. Attempt to do a soft reset by removing the battery in your cell phone and keeping it out for approximately one minute. Replace the battery, power it on and see if it works.
3. If it doesn’t…you’re pretty much screwed…only kidding. Call customer care and ask for warranty exchange. Tell them you THINK you are having ’software related issues’ or tell them what your phone is doing or not doing (do not tell them your mobile have contacted a deadly cell phone virus). Listen to their suggestions and see if any of them will work.
4. When you receive the replacement phone, download anti virus software for your cell phone. The larger companies such as Symantec are now offering these as f.ree downloads (as of this writing).
5. Use common sense. Hopefully you have a little bit of that
6.purchase cellphone antivirus software to kill them.

Dude I have a sidekick lx 2008 and its been working fine untill I got some spam mail. I ment to delete it but I accedently opened it and then my phone shut off. I just thought I held the power button. A few hours earlier I was puttin music on my phone so it was connected to the computer no problems. And since then I can plug my phone up to my comp but it just charges and won’t install the drivers to access the files. And like half an hour ago I just got an email that’s weird as fuck. Like non of my friends no my email adress. And I got this email from no one. There was no sender it was blank. Saying “I love you. Ryan cannon” as the subject. Ryan cannon is my friends lil brother so I opened it up and I can’t understand anything in the email. So I seriously think I got a virus. My cmputer didn’t dectect anything wrong so……. can u help?
