Guest jtsaint Posted June 15, 2004 Report Posted June 15, 2004 Thought this was quite interesting. I know is not a msoft platform and doesn't apply but is worth noting that there are people out there trying to create viruses for phones. Not sure on the ditribution method though. Imagine being a anti-virus company and having your market expanded by 10 times over night since phones are suceptible too - how lucky for them. Of course no reputable anti-virus company would stoop so low as creating a multi-billion dollar industry by simply creating viruses that target phones - symbian .. ms .. etc I think I am right in believing there are lots more phones than personal computers?
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted June 15, 2004 Report Posted June 15, 2004 Yes, but only a small fraction of those a capable of running and redistributing anything vaguley resembling a virus...
Guest ajb3000 Posted June 15, 2004 Report Posted June 15, 2004 Can you just imagine the slow down you'd get from running a virus scanner on a phone.
