No Cure For The Virus -- The One Infecting Your CELLPHONE.

According to PhysOrg, "Finnish anti-virus research company F-Secure said it discovered first in-the-wild sighting of Cabir in Santa Monica, California.

Cabir is a bluetooth using worm that runs in Symbian mobile phones that support Series 60 platform, and replicates over bluetooth connections. Cabir has spread slowly into 12 countries and marks the beginning of the mobile phone virus era.

It's by far the most damaging of the small family of cell phone viruses to date. F-Secure identified the U.S. infections as Cabir.H and Cabir.I."

All of this gobbledygook that you regular folk don't follow (kinda like me) means that cellphone viruses have hit the United States. WELCOME TO THE REST OF THE WORLD, AMERICA! So if you have one of those fancy Bluetooth enabled cellphones, you ought to be careful where you park it. You might be toting the bug that takes out all your friends' phones in the process.
