Can mobile phones be infected with a virus?

Answer 1

In theory yes, but it would be difficult to design and distribute a virus for a mobile given that there are so many different kinds of phone systems. The chance of mobile infection is slim due to the sheer lack of viruses that have been deployed.

Answer 2

A cell phone virus is basically the same thing as a computer virus -- an unwanted executable file that "infects" a device and then copies itself to other devices. But whereas a computer virus or worm spreads through e-mail attachments and internet downloads, a cell-phone virus or worm spreads via Internet downloads, MMS (multimedia messaging service) attachments and Bluetooth transfers. The most common type of cell-phone infection right now occurs when a cell phone downloads an infected file from a PC or the Internet, but phone-to-phone viruses are on the rise.
