According to McAfee Avert Labs, smart phones under control of Windows CE/Mobile are threatened with a new polymorphic virus under the name "Partner".
The virus uses at once two methods of attack - "a method of the partner" and enciphering. The first method is known since times DOS. The virus works, masking under a pure executed file or the program on the computer of the user. Therefore instead of starting any program, the user starts a file with a virus. And the enciphering method is the standard technique, llowing to deceive the majority of anti-virus programs.
Now McAfee is engaged in research of the threat connected with a new virus and reveals, what parts of mobile devices can be mentioned it, writes Helpix.
