Hybrid Trojan for Symbian phones

The MetalGear.A Trojan horse combines several malicious mobile phone programs that work to spread over Symbian-based phones, antivirus-software maker SimWorks said in a release published Tuesday. The program, camouflaged as a version of the game Metal Gear Solid, will disable antivirus programs, including SimWorks, as well as other programs. The attack also installs a version of the Cabir virus, which spreads through the Bluetooth short-range wireless protocol.
