Hi all.
For those of you who have Nokia phones running Talx I thought you might find
the following article of interest.

Symbian virus.
A Trojan horse program could render some Nokia mobiles useless by
preventing them from making calls. Gavno, which poses as a
downloadable patch file, has been discovered by SimWorks
International, a Symbian anti-virus specialist. Although no users have
reported infections, SimWorks says the 2 KB virus works and could
infect Nokia 6600 and 7610 models. Gavno only affects phones using
Symbian version 7 with the Series 60 graphical interface: other
combinations are immune. Aaron Davidson, the chief executive of
SimWorks, says Gavno may render a phone impossible to repair. It
disables all applications and often causes the phone to continually
reboot. www.simworks.biz/news/Gavno.pdf
