Will viruses leap to mobiles

Abstract

While mobile phones continue to become more sophisticated, the risk that these phones will be infected by viruses or worms also increases. Examples of worms that have been identified to infect mobile devices are the Crossover and Cabir.AA worms. Viruses commonly spread from mobile to mobile via Bluetooth, but they can also infect via SD cards or via email. To combat these viruses, mobile operators such as Orange have started offering automatic antivirus service. Users can get an antivirus download directly to their mobile phone from the mobile Internet portal, and receive automatic updates regularly.
