How do you get rid of a mobile phone virus?
I have a samsung E900 and i keep recieving the same text message about 10 times a day,ive asked the person to delete it from their phone and she has,but the text still keeps coming.When i try to delete it my battery power goes right down and the phone freezes.Its ok for any other message.

that sounds like a network issue, ask your pal, to phone her service provider.. if you still suspect a virus, connect phone to computer with usb lead, and virus scan it…x
This isn’t a virus on your phone causing this, it’s a network issue. When an text message is submitted it is stored on a server (called the SMSC – Short Message Service Centre). This then forwards the message either to a different network or the phone and waits for an acknowledgement, if for some reason that acknowledgement isn’t received it will be re-sent time and time again until the network receives a delivery successful message. I am guessing you are on different networks, and possibly in relatively poor coverage, which may explain why the message is being received numerous times by you.
If you need any help drop me an email.
Samsung E900 is not a Symbian phone. There are no viruses for it (nor anti-virus programs, for that matter). Your problem is definitely not caused by a virus.
Oh, and you can’t scan your phone for viruses by connecting it to the PC via USB cable, as the other answerer suggested.
