There are more than 50 recognized cell phone viruses spreading around
the world at the moment. Cabir is the largest of this new breed of
virus. Yesterday the first incident of it was reported in New Zealand.
To *catch* this virus, you have to accept a request to be connected to
another phone via blue tooth. The virus then gets into your phone that
way and continues to then try and have your phone connect to other users.
The virus is not damaging to your phone, but it slows down the phone and
the battery life because it is always trying to connect in the
background.
