My Bluetooth is not working It has some sort of virus that came in to my phone via a message and installed itself as an application , it show's up as CARIBE SIS when the phone is powered up .
If my bluetooth is turned on it attacks other phone's that have there bluetooth activatedby sending them message after message to gain accsess to the phone in order to install itself in there phone , so i cannot use my bluetooth now for fear of infecting other people's phone's
