The Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association (AMTA) has developed
consumer tips to assist users to protect themselves against the risk of
mobile phone viruses.

This guide explains what viruses are, how they spread.

*What's a mobile phone virus?*

A mobile phone virus or mobile malware - malicious mobile software - is a
computer virus specifically adapted for the mobile phone environment and
designed to spread from one vulnerable phone to another.

A virus is a program code that replicates by being copied to another
program. Viruses can be transmitted as attachments to an email or in a
download file. Some viruses take effect as soon as their code is executed;
other viruses can lie dormant. A virus that replicates by resending itself
as an email attachment or as a part of a network message is known as a worm.
