Dont know and Im not used around uiq os,but one suggestion is to transfer all your newest files to the memorycard and then connect to pc(card reader or usb dir from phone) to run your antivirus scan from the computers sec program.. Dont know if this will help you,but its a start at least. Good luck anyways

It seems unlikely that you have a "virus" on your phone, maybe just update the firmware?
Besides, I'm not sure if it is even worth it for anyone to make a virus to kill your cell phone lol.
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

By the way mobile viruses are(what I know) very uncommon. But a possibility though,there are som anti virus fw for symbian phones..
Not very cheap but good to be feel secure..

As most answers the first opt is to restart,pick battery out for 30min,check your firmware or reinstall it again I must consider this first..

Can only speak of what I know and a firmware update may solve the issue :-/

Maybe ur phone has just broken down?
A contact whith ur seller is always the best in this..

There are no known UIQ3 virus to date so highly unlikey mate. You should reflash your phone, remember to backup all of your data and settings before you do that

It's not a virus, probably just few drops on the ground

Anyway, you should try with trialware F-secure, or AVG Mobile.
