All Java phones at risk from new mobile virus
Security software house Kaspersky is warning of a new mobile virus that does not just target smartphones but any mobile capable of running Java (J2ME) applications.

The malware claims to be an application called RedBrowser, which allows mobile users to access WAP services without using a WAP connection by using a free SMS service.
In fact it sends data to a premium SMS service which charges around $5 per message.
The Trojan can be easily removed from the handset using standard utilities already installed on the telephone.
