Skulls program kills cell phone apps

Doesn't anybody make cell *PHONE*s anymore???: Can we please forget about bleeping video games and concentrate on making *PHONES*?

The dektop phone beside me has yet to be infected. The problem is that today's cellphones are handheld computers in drag. Like all computers, they have an OS, and will execute code that is properly loaded, meaning that they can get infected.

And forget about linux/Windows wars. At best, you're talking different degrees of security. Glorified handheld computers *WILL* be infected, no ifs, ands, ors, buts. My cynical side sees the day coming when cellphone providers will charge people extra for anti-virus subscriptions.; Posted by: Knorthern Knight Posted on: 11/21/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
