How to Delete Mobile Virus
Preventive Techniques For Mobile Virus
- Do not install pirated software on your mobile. Only install software from reliable resources.
- Do not accept any messages sent over blue tooth from somebody you don’t know or if you are not expecting to receive one.
- Provide training to personnel using mobile phones / PDAs. People cannot be held accountable to secure their information if they haven't been told how.
- Patch management for software on mobile devices should not be overlooked. This can often be simplified by integrating patching with syncing, or patch management with the centralized inventory database.
- For smart phones in particular, real-time automatic and on-demand virus scan capabilities can protect files that are stored on the smart phone's file system, while the firewall should use protocol and port filtering to protect the data and applications being transmitted.

3. If viruses were detected during scanning, you can delete them. If you ’re prompted that viruses are not all successfully deleted, don’t worry about it.
4. After deleting viruses, exit the NetQin Mobile Anti-Virus and follow the prompted dialogue to restart your phone.
5. After the restart of your phone, you’re supposed to manually execute a full scan again to delete the residual viruses. (Maybe there isn’t any virus left .)
6. Now application manager is expected to work again. Go to application manager and uninstall the malicious application which you installed.
If your infected phone do not work anymore, you can hard format your phone to remove the virus and its variants.
Note: All applications and files stored on this drive will be lost. Do the following steps to format your phone: 1. Turn the phone off.
2. Press and hold the three key, “Call Key” + “*” + “3”.
3. Keep pressing the three key simultaneous and boot the phone.
4. Do not loose any key and wait for several seconds. The phone will display the string ”formatting” or pop the phone setting dialog. It will be determined by the phone type.
5. After formatting, you can use the phone again.
Remember:
If the infected phone holds a memory card inside, it may also be infected. Before formatting, you should pull the card out. The suspected card should be formatted with USB card reader connected to a computer later on. In a word, the phone device and the memory card should be formatted respectively.
How to Remove Virus from Nokia 7610
Nokia 7610 is indeed one of those few mobile phone models (running the Symbian S60 R2 operating system) for which mobile phone viruses exist in-the-wild. Most likely, it is a CommWarrior variant, since this is probably the most widespread virus of this kind.
As for how it got there - probably via Bluetooth or via MMS; not via the Internet, as somebody suggested.
- The best way to remove the virus is by using an anti-virus program for your mobile phone. Try F-Secure's - it's pretty good. It's not free but it has a trial period which should be enough to clean your phone.
- Re-formatting the phone is also an option, but I wouldn't recommend it. First of all, you'll lose all the data and custom applications that you have loaded into the phone.
- Second, depending on the virus, the latter might have also infected the MMC card - from where it will immediately re-infect the phone during the boot up after the formatting. So - better use an anti-virus program instead.
