WEll i was on the beach the other day and someone i figure was bluetoothing me!!! over and over for abt an hour they were sending me something called CARIBE and i kept rejecting and rejecting and eventually i managed to turn my bluetooth off (they were doing it so much i couldnt even got to my menu to switch it off)

i forgot about it then and i switch my phone off last night and put it on this morning and my phone was doing something werid it is very slow to load and there is a jigsaw puzzle piece where the clock should be..........anyway i manage to get my screen bk to normal and went onto my quick select screen thing (where you press and hold memu button and it pops up) and i noticed that this CARIBE is showing as running!!!!! Even tho i never accepted it!!

Can anyone tell me what it is and how to get rid of it??

and also how did the person manage to try to send me file without a passcode??

Very worried and confused

Unfortunately it's a symbian virus, you must have clicked install by accident one of the times. Fortunately though, F-secure anti-virus claims to be able to get rid of it. Click here for more info. (http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/cabir.shtml) There also seems to be quite a few articles on Google about it. (http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=caribe+virus&sa=N&revid=848635287&qpos=0&oi=revisions_inline) Hope this helps :)

Just a small point on your site you show a network coverage map, any chance of showing Northern Ireland in the same colour as the rest of the UK, we are part of the UK and not Ireland.

Thanks

The problem is the maps are provided by the network and not me
