lame. this is not a virus, if anything it's a trojan at best. show us that the app does NOT have permissions to read your sms and access the net, then we can call it a trojan. otherwise it is just a poorly coded app with an sms upload feature. and for sure this is NOT a virus.

@froschfresser29 Keylogger, but for a phone this is still worrying...

@Starflyer1609 Really only if you download off market apps so if you don't you're in the clear.

@Starflyer1609 It's just precautional, you can install an antivirus on any Linux distros as well, that doesn't mean they are that much vulnerable, and Android is based on Linux kernel. The same is for iOS on iPhone.
