A new type of worm virus has been discovered in series 60 symbian smartphones called CARIBE it is a .SIS file and once installed into the phone it keeps your bluetooth running and automaticaly keeps searching for other bluetooth devices and when it gets in range of a device it automaticaly sends itself to it therefor spreading the virus! Its relatively harmless as all it does is search for bluetooth devices and send but once on your phone it rapidly reduces battery life by searching continuously for devices and makes bluetooth not work as good!
