This morning I was just playing a game on my K500i (GDTR to be exact) when suddenly I recieved a call from "Withheld". This was never one of my contacts yet the name was written. As I answered, the call finished. Is this supposed to be be a virus or ....?

assuming I understood you correctly... "withheld" is what it shows you for numbers that have been blocked from being sent by the person calling you... so thats normal

I apologize for my bad English
But I have not blocked anyone!
BTW where do I check if any of my contacts are blocked. I could have blocked someone by mistake.

That is just a call from someone who does not wish to display their number or the phone system they are using doesn't support it for various reasons. I'd say it's not malicious. It's not on your end, it is the caller who is not displaying their number.
For land lines, your telco can hide your number, on GSM phones you can use #31#

@shaunkii, no I didn't mean yo ublocked someone as you can't do that directly, although you can setup a list of people from whom you will only accept a call
@rajasekharan_v, if you want to disable the sending of your phone number go to settings, calls, hide or show no

On my Nokia it says Private Number unless the call is from abroad, in which instance it simply says CALL should the caller be concealing their i.d. Its not harmful, Shaun

sometimes it is network dependent, just like for example i cannot do that kind of stuff, i should ask first my network operator to do that kind of thing.. i just dont know if that applies too with other international network operators..

Depending on the handset, if the person withholds thier number so it does not show on the recieving end by mean by 141 or sometimes mobiles use thier own code like my SET610 #31# then you get either private number, unknown or withheld showing on your screen.
