As in the computer world, it is rumored in recent days the spread of a new generation of computer viruses, but this time not be responsible for attacking the hard drive or removable storage media but focus their damage to mobile phones, and more precisely, your operating system.

This would in future have to put more emphasis on the creation of a mobile anti-virus which is intended to protect not only threats from your computer (with the accidental exchange of a malicious file to the phone memory) but other means of propagation that are, thankfully, currently under development.
Background

Perhaps serving as a pilot, called Virus Caribbean did identify themselves with the appearance of one of the first generation of smartphones, though it was quite poor, affecting only the Symbian mobile operating system and whose only qualification I had was that of spread through Bluetooth, displaying a small message on the screen and then forward to all contacts.

The solution goes beyond simple, was to cancel the reception of an object through this connectivity, or the un-installation or execution of the downloaded file, but of course, this has appeared mostly in conventions where there are a large number of terminals united in bounded dimensions, and obviously must have Bluetooth enabled.

In the year 2004 was the first mobile virus that caused havoc, dubbed Skuller, and causing a first change menu icons in the operating system, added further to the elimination of a random file in a certain period of time.

Already in 2005, appeared a successor, the CommWarrior virus, which is presented to us under the guise of a game, and while ejecutábamos of spread to others using the address book of the terminal.

Finally, the most damaging of all, called MMS Bomber, whose infection occurred in China in late 2010, affecting millions of handsets with the Symbian operating system, and causing the submission of a huge amount of expensive multimedia messages that generated more than upset the owner of the infected phone.
