Commwarrior epidemic

Friday, August 12, 2005

There seems to be a major epidemic of Commwarrior in the city. It used to be that going into any public place with Bluetooth discoverable was invitation to be sent the worm. Now it’s worse—I got hit thrice today merely walking down the road.

Please, people, disinfect your phones. Go to the F-Secure download area, install the removal tool, run it, reboot your phone, and then go to App Manager and remove the Commwarrior package. It’s as simple as that.

Heh.

What happened to your friend's phone the other day? Were you able to wipe it out from the phone?

  Yes. Cleaned that one, and another one the next day.
  
  Right now there's this phone called 'Sneha' spamming me every few minutes. It's not anyone around here. Must be coming from a floor away.

I was hit by the virus too, but a clean format solved the problem. Now I have another problem, whenever I take out my battery, the phone asks me to enter the time and date. This was not so before the farmat :(
