I'm not sure if this is now commonplace, but I think its proper wierd.
I was in Subway (the sandwhich shop), I had a W800i and my friend had a K750i.
Basically the shop was empty, and some thing bluetoothed a .sis file simultaneously to my phone and my friends K750i. It happened numerous times once every 30 seconds. Each time they were called different file names, I saved one - z40z081cyg. theres no one around, and I didnt know what was doing it!
I though it might be a phone virus! But it can't affect my phone, how did they send it to my friend at the same time. Whats going on?

i could be wrong, but i believe a .sys file is a virus for many of the new nokia phones.
anyway, i am interested to hear from someone on how more than one was sent at once.
Its good to be back! |

it would have saved to the "other" folder since the K750 and W800 don't support .sis

tomw800 : try to upload the .sis file somewhere, somebody can take a look at it and try to verify if it is a virus or not. |

for wat i know .sis virus files only affect symbian operating systems phones such as p900, i had a nokia 3630 and i got a virus sent to me that messed up my bluetooth, my friend got it on his phone but notink happened to him because he didnt have a symbian operating system so k750 and w800i should be ok if u accept such files.

That was mentioned in the first reply.
Also: when I searched for devices I found none! |

Wow! Yes, I got the same the other day in the bus, and I'm down here in Argentina.
Twice I got bluetoothed with a .sis file, apparently a randomly generated name.
SIS are Symbian applications; I save one, then deleted it because I didn't have nothing to do with it. Both were (I think) 300 KB EXACTLY.
Any clues as what that is?

Maybe its a virus that sends to every bluetooth device in range, and when a person accepts and opens it, it sends it on to other devices?
