Story: Bluetooth viruses pose growing threat

hi. i was walking down victoria stret in london on saturday 29th jan 05 and i got a ''bluetooth message'' file received entitled ''sanus.exe'' i discarded the file and it came up again and again over and over again until i had to turn of the phone. When turning it back on i managed to turn the bluetooth feature off and i have not had any problems since. One week later, my father had the same sort of message called ''cabir.exe'' but he accepted it. He installed it in the application folder and now continuously sends the messeage to other phones. I have recently deleted it from the phone's applications folder and turned the phone's bluetooth off but it still sends the message to other phones even though the phones bluetooth is off!! when the phone is switched on it comes up with a message 'cabir.exe'' and you only have the option of selecting OK. How do i get it off his phone????
