Just after entering my friend's sim card on my phone every other sim card that i plug in my phone gets infected and infects other phones then every infected phone starts behaving abnormally disabling some services and activating other such as 3g even if it's not a usim card i tried kaspersky it says nothing formatting isn't possible and it scans on physical readers only it doesn't reach the card <br /> thanks in advance

Does that really exist? there are different sorts of sim cards functioning on different voltages. it could have damaged your phone or something like it

i think that problem is caused by a virus.

all i know is that cellphones are prone to viruses but i don't know if sim cards are also prone to viruses.

better bring your phone to a service center & have it checked.

most "cell" phones are not affected by viruses. windows mobile smart
phones on the other hand ....

There are NO viruses for SE phones as they don't have an operating system
that is normally attacked.
I reject your reality and substitute my own.
