do a hard format mate that might work. But if you can find out what the virus does (display anything etc) then check it up with google as there a number of cleaning programmes you can get mate

There was another thread in Off day about 2 months back of someone having a virus on a 6600 and we all sorted it for him

At worse, just take it to a carphone warehouse or nokia centre and get them to reflash the phone, no need to get a new phone for a virus mate

Why order a new phone. Just format it.

Most phone shops dont know f*ck all.

So format the phone memory then followef by the MMC card & everything is sorted. Will lose everything on the phone such as contacts and anything stored but phone will work.

Do a hardware format by pressing and holding keys....

End Call, * and Pick Up Call then whilst holdin these buttons dwn, press the power button and hold till you see FORMATING on the screen.
