A new variant of the Skulls Trojan horse for cell phones is trying to trap victims by posing as antivirus software, F-Secure has warned.
A company which handles support for major mobile operators has hit back at research published at the end of April by antivirus giant Symantec that suggested users are wising up to a growing threat of mobile phone viruses.
Mobile users should avoid downloading Skulls.D, a Trojan that will wreck their handset.
Mobile phone operating-system maker Symbian has reacted to growing media and security industry concern about the threat of mobile phone viruses, stating categorically that users are in no danger of getting a virus on their handset.
Security experts have said that enterprises will not have to worry about a large scale virus outbreak affecting their 'smart' mobile phones and PDAs for another 18 months. However, after that, even antivirus software is unlikely to help.
Instances of infected smart phones are almost nonexistent, according to a mobile phone support exec.
