The mobile malware will be detected as SYMBOS_CARDTRP.R. The malware upon installation in a Symbian OS phone overwrites several normal utlities and other applications installed on the phone and also some antivirus-related files, this are all in an attempt to cause malfunction to the overwritten applications.


The malware also drops a few files in the memory card of the phone. One of the files dropped is AUTORUN.INF and because of this file, upon insertion of the memory card in a PC, it will cause the file INSTALL.EXE(which is being detected as WORM_RONTKBR.GEN) to execute and infect the said PC. The other file being dropped is an icon file COMPRESS.ICO.



  • Note: INSTALL.EXE is going to be detected as WORM_RONTOKBR.AK
