Oh tremendous! Mobile phone viruses!

Just when I'm due to pick up my PC following its stint in hospital - it has been reset to factory settings after it was successfully attacked by something unpleasant - I read on techspot.com this morning that mobile phones aren't safe. OK, so the three trojans they have reported aren't spreading quickly, but the risk is there. I'm wondering if I access the web via my phone and synchronise with my PC, both of which I do quite regularly, does this make me more of a risk? Just to be sure, I won't be downloading any attachments.

Oh, and to complete the happy news, there's a fourth, more traditional worm that targets PCs. It goes by the names Nyxem and Karma Sutra and is spreading fast apparently.

Nice to see you're doing your part to help spread the Kama Sutra, Dom.

We're all proud of you.
