HAHA a virus, i am pretty sure you can't get viruses on mobiles..

Answer 2

Ignore the other two answers - they are totally worthless. Yes, one can get viruses for mobile phones - although only some models are infectable. No, you can't scan your phone with a PC-based anti-virus program - your phone's file system is not visible to the PC it is connected to; you have to use Nokia PC Suite to transfer information from and to the phone.

Now, regarding your question. First of all, Fontal.A is not a virus - it is a Trojan horse. Both are malicious programs but there is a substantial difference between them. Viruses replicate themselves. Trojan horses do not. The only way to get a Trojan horse on your phone is if you install on it pirated software downloaded from dubious places - while a virus can infect your phone from any other infected phone nearby.

Second, I kinda doubt that you really have this Trojan horse. If that were the case, your phone wouldn't even boot and you wouldn't know what exactly it is infected with. Why exactly do you think that your phone has this particular Trojan horse? Most likely, you've been mislead by a false positive in some anti-virus program.

Anyway, if your phone indeed has this Trojan horse - and especially if you have already rebooted it - the only fix is formatting the phone. (You can't use an anti-virus program, because the phone won't boot and won't let you install one.) See the link below for instructions.

Answer 3

Its very simple buddy, you can download mobile anti-virus on your phone. Try www.getjar.com If its not successful then use your data cable to connect your cell to a computer with an updated anti-virus then clean it. This will help. Good Luck
