This virus has nothing to do with the iPhone, nor did it infect only 60 mobile phones.
Rather, it affects only Symbian Series 60 phones and infection is via MMS or Bluetooth and not text messages.
Its not about what id did its about what i could do to smartphones like the iphone in the future, its a warning not a history lesson.
the best virus/worm is the Welchia worm because it was a worm that helped by getting the blaster worm out of your hard drive and then deleting itself which means thah it was a worm that help get rid of bad viruses, worms, and trojan horses and so having the virus helps you.
