| | A few years ago, I had a new phone for about a week and it suddenly stopped working. I took it to my phone shop and they said the phone had been currupted with a virus.
I've learnt since then that the virus was sent through Bluetooth. The most common of bluetooth viruses is called Blooover/Blooover 2. It can be downloaded all over the internet and then sent to other phones via your phone.
ALWAYS -
keep your bluetooth hidden unless someone asks you to change your status
NEVER -
accept data from someone you do not know
I hope this prevents anyone making the mistake I did, let me know if you've had previous experience of this and wether you think that what I have said is worthwhile.
By the way, there are many many more viruses and hacking software out there for mobile phones, so dont let people see your on bluetooth. |

Thats the thing that differentiates a computer from a mobile.. A mobile always asks you to choose. If u wanna be infected or not  The solution is therefore simple. Choose no.

Not always, Blooover and Blooover 2 for example, do not require someones permissions to currupt their phone.

Any Advice From Experts?
wrapping text around pictures. (3) I was wondering if someone could help me. I know that when you mix text with pictures, when you use
the "align" feature, the text will wrap around the picture, eg. when you want text to the left to
wrap around a picture on the right, you just add 'align="right"' to the picture and vice
cersa for text and pictures on the opposite side. However, it becomes totally different when you
want 2 pictures, one underneath the other, or when you want a caption text underneath the
picture(s), in which case the wrapping and formatting completely disappears. it is of course po....

coach/manager to walk it in so I get up and start limping to the group. At this stage I'm just
