"Viruses and other malware for smartphones are becoming an everyday problem. A virus can cause false billing, unwanted disclosure of stored information, and deleted, corrupted, modified or stolen user data. Protection against harmful content is required on every smartphone."

If I read this right: and you have "modified or stolen" apps or software on your phone.

Your entitled to have a virus

Tommie as long as you don't open any dodgy attachments you'll be fine... Most viruses that come through to your email box won't be able to run on a non Windows system.. Symbian will be more than safe

That is true and probably there would be at least a few or several "extra feature" applications but (that is the best side of it) each S60 3.x application must be signed and this is additional (rather big right now) diffculty for hackers.

If somebody hacked Symbian Signed the we would know it I suppose. If any certicicate is stolen the owner shall inform that somehow and try to solve the problem (it can be solved). I see only two ways of hacking in S60 v3 case: breaking codes of Symbian Signed or stealing certificate.
