O/T Question about Memory Cards and Viruses?

[MrP!NK]

Is it possible for a memory card for your cell phone to get a virus off your computer??

Cause my phone has f'ed twice and I think that theres a possibility that my pc has a virus, do you think it could have gotten transferred to my phone while transferring music??

Yeah it is possible, there are many types of cell phone viruses (especially for the Symbian OS). Some of them cause trouble by crashing the phone and wrecking its operating system, others just steal your money by sending text messages to certain services or they're just annoying programs to screw/slow down your cell phone.

You can just use a mobile antivirus. Be careful with the bluetooth and the files you save onto your phone.

Im very ignorant when it comes to this stuff.
I dont know what to do cause I dont want to put it back in my phone if its going to wreck it, cause they did me a favour and sent me out a brand new phone, even when I still have a contract.

Do you know how I would go about checking it for viruses? or where I download a mobile antivirus?

PS - thanks for responding. This has been a question Ive had for a while now.
