KPRC Local 2 was in Washington, D.C. recently when phone and wireless companies told government security leaders that a wave of viruses spreading across Asia and Europe is on its way to cell phones in the U.S. Now an anti-virus firm is tracking eight different malicious cell phone bugs. Some spread through the list of phone numbers people keep in their phones. Houston computer security firms are bracing for the attack. Daniel Areemit with Timeer Networking said a cell phone user's friends will think they are receiving a message. "Oh, this is a very cool picture. They click and download it. Then, you infect it," Areemit said. Some viruses can drain a cell phone user's minutes, make long distance calls at the user's expense or steal pictures and e-mail. But one virus, called the Commwarrior, is spreading through text messages, which is a way of life for many teenagers.

Bluetooth does not prevent or any device which connects to another to share info, you cannot get virus...researchers and phone technichians show that if u download something from a computer then have many possiblity to have one....when Bluetooth is on it might drain your battery but cannot recieve viruses unless you accept by connecting to a device inserted the password...

ANY DEVICE CAPABLE OF CONNECTING TO ANOTHER TO SHARE INFORMATION/files can potentially send viruses. Digital viruses are simply malicious programs that make a device do something the user likely doesn't want the device to do.
