Looks like there is a new Trojan horse virus aimed at Symbian smart phones. The MetalGear.a virus disguises itself as a Symbian version of the Metal Gear Solid game, disables antivirus programs and also installs a version of the Cabir worm virus onto the phone.
To infect their phones users must open and install the fake Metal Gear game. Most of the viruses spread through this install process. Similar to the recently discovered Skulls Trojan, the MetalGear Trojan uses the same icon-disabling technique to disable antivirus and other applications.
